Hi, I just made the switch from adobe to Krita today and I'm having 1 issue.

I'm trying to make a floating windows workspace like how you can undock and move around the window of the image you are working on inside Photoshop.

I have researched this and have seen that selecting "subwindows" inside Settings/configureKrita should fix this. When I do and select ok .. nothing changes. The image window is still spread across my entire workspace between the toolbar on the left to the Docked tabs on the right.

What am I Missing?

BTW I'm using windows 10 on a cintiq 24hd

Thank you in advance.

It may be that one of your image subwindows is maximised. Look under the '_OX' controls at the top right of your main krita window and see if there is a grey version of those window control icons. If so, that is the window control for a maximised subwindow - click the centre icon and it should go back to floating around the canvas with any other image subwindows.

If you're using this presentation to see and work on all your images, the Overview docker is very useful for letting you know where you are in the selected sub-window and can be used to control the size and placement of the 'viewhole' of your sub-window.

If you're doing it to get some kind of reference images on display, krita has a Reference Image Tool which looks like a notice board pin and is next to the rectangular selection tool. In that case, tabbed view may be better for you.
