Hello. I've just updated to the newest version and brush cursor doesn't always show or work unless i click off to a different layer.

Another thing I've had problem with is that I can't save files as psd if i bring a jpeg from photoshop to do clean lines. It says there's something with color properties on layers and it can't be saved. Also when i bring 300dpi jpeg in, it changes it to 72. In ps I can simply go to image size, change 72 to 300 and pixel size back to what it was. 4000x3000 usually. But it i try to do that in krita, it shrinks the image size.

It would save as psd if i drew lines on the imported jpeg. But with the dpi issue I just start a new file and paste the sketch in. That's when it wont save.


Thanks

Hello sythgara,

Welcome to Krita forums.

Please tell us which OS you are using. I don't know about the brush stroke problem, may be others can help here.

I believe you are also having problems in saving psd because one of the layers( probably the line art that you paste) has different color profile. PSD doesn't support more than one color profile in the document. However in krita it is possible to have different color profile for different layers e.g. line art layer in grayscale and color layer in rgb.

To solve your problem, Please select the newly pasted layer and go to Layer > convert layer color space.
that will give you a dialogue box something like below


choose the color profile which matches your document.

Now it should save to psd without that error.

Now regarding your DPI question. If the initial DPi of the document is 72 dpi while you created it. it will stay the same even if you paste something of 300 dpi inside it.
You can change the DPI setting from Image > scale image to new size. Please tick constraint proportions off if you want to change the dimension seperately.

P.S. in krita its Pixels per Inch not Dots per Inch so it will be reffered as PPI .

I hope this solves your problem.

thank you

I can confirm that a 300 dpi jpg saved in photoshop imports (as in, dragging the jpg file from file manager into an empty krita window) as a 72dpi image in krita.

If I open the 300 dpi jpg in irfanview first, and resave it, then it fixes it - dragging the jpg into krita shows a correct 300dpi.

So I suspect that there is something about how photoshop saves it's jpgs that krita either is reading wrongly, or photoshop is saving dodgily.

Thanks for the psd fix. By extension it solves my dpi issue as I just paste the jpeg to 300 dpi file and lineart from there.

The brush has been working fine today, so maybe a restart helped.

Could one of you guys make a bug report at bugs.kde.org and attach a offending photoshop PSD? Then we can try to reproduce it and see if we can work around it.

It's any jpeg that turns to 72 dpi when dragged into krita that's the issue, so you can probably use any 300dpi jpeg and drag it in. I have not imported any PS-made psd's to krita as of yet. Only saved them from krita to continue work in photoshop.

Done. Bug #347572
