The layer dialog has also been improved ( Figure 1). Therefore, Instant Preview is a significant addition to the entire application. Krita uses the accelerated preview with the freehand brush, for moving contents and for filtering and animation. This feature has an especially positive effect for larger projects. The further the user zooms out from the image, the faster the preview will work. Krita will calculate a complete resolution of the brush stroke in the image once the action is closed. In painting mode, the program displays only a preview, which corresponds to the current zoom level. The new Krita rendering engine, Instant Preview, has proved to be a reliable helper. Users of previous versions complained about the slow editing speed for actions that affect larger image areas. The developers achieved both goals and then went even further and created other improvements. The second goal was to address the wish list of the crowd-funding supporters and create animations. The first was to reduce the compute time for drawing operations, thereby accelerating the rate of display. In order to quicken the pace of work on the project, the developers sought funding through a Kickstarter campaign (see also the "Krita 2016 Kickstarter" box). Krita 3.0 contains a multitude of smaller and larger improvements. This has opened Krita up to a wider circle of creatives including cartoonists and game developers. In addition, the grid tool and the alignment function have been redone. This release comes with an animation function, as well as an improved layer dock.
The release of Krita 3.0 at the end of May marked the beginning of an another important chapter in the application's history. As a result, Krita has begun to target mostly comic book illustrators and illustrators in general rather than photographers. Over the course of time, the developers concentrated more and more on the painting and illustrator functions in the application. Krita was originally developed as a universal image editor for Linux and came as part of the Calligra office suite.
