       Show HN: Krita RGBA Tech - Exploring Filter Engines in Open-Source
       Art
        
       Hello everyone! Last november, I made realistic metallic brushes
       for Krita.  This time, I dived into the "filter brush engine" to
       create convenient ways to add thickness to paintstrokes (e.g.
       emboss), something which can make digital art look more appealing
       or traditional.  I also created a special eraser which pays
       attention to the "height" of your brushwork, via an edge-detection
       filter + eraser blending mode.  If there are any FOSS artists
       around, feel free to try them out \+**  **+/  Previous Show HN

           | Wow - I'm surprised Krita has been in development that long.
           | It just qualitatively _feels_ much more modern than GIMP.
           | Maybe it 's because I focus more on drawing making heavy use
           | of the brush system which IMHO is significantly better in
           | Krita.
