Sort stops by hue - Clicking this button will sort the stops by its hue. Sort stops by value - Clicking this button will sort the stops by its value.ĭistribute stops evenly - Clicking this button will space the stops leaving the same amount of space between them. Use Ctrl + or Ctrl + Left and Ctrl + Right shortcuts to select the previous or next stop.Ĭolor type - With these three buttons you can select the type of color used by the selected stop (Foreground, Background or custom).Ĭolor button - If the selected stop uses a custom color then you can use this button to open a color dialog and change the color.įlip gradient - With this button you can reverse the order of the stops in the gradient.

If you also press Shift key the increment will be smaller. Use the or the Left and Right keys to move the selected stop. On the stop handles (the drop-shaped icons) to select a stop, and drag to move them.ĭrag the stop handles outside of the bar or press Delete key to remove the selected stop.ĭouble- on a stop handle or press Enter key to open a color dialog where you can choose the color of the stop. Gradient slider - This slider is the main part of the editor, where the gradient preview is shown and where you can perform some basic operations to change the gradient: Selected stop label - This label shows the currently selected stop index.ĭelete stop - With this button you can delete the currently selected stop. Select stop - With these arrow buttons you can select the previous or next stop. Name text field - In this text field you can write a name for the gradient. Following is a breakdown of the stop gradient editor: This makes them dynamic: if a gradient uses the Foreground or Background colors then changing those will also change the gradient appearance.Ĭreating stop gradients is very straight forward. New in version 4.4: Gradients can have stops that use the currently selected Foreground or Background colors. A gradient stop has two properties associated with it: a position and a color. Stop gradients are simply a list of gradient stops. By default Krita will make a stop-gradient. You can make a new gradient by going into the drop-down and selecting the gradient type you wish to have. Initially we could only make segmented gradients in Krita, but in 3.0.2 we can also make stop gradients. Stop Gradients, which are saved as SVG files and similar to how most applications do their gradients, but has less features than the segmented gradient. Segmented Gradients, which are compatible with GIMP, have many different features but are also a bit complicated to make. They can only be accessed through the gradient “quick-menu” in the toolbar. In addition, you can design and save your own.Īs a source of color for the pixel brush. Krita provides over a dozen preset dynamic gradients for you to choose from. Gradients are configurations of blending between colors. The Gradients configuration panel is accessed by clicking the Gradients icon (usually the icon next to the disk).
