The layers that are created in the timeline docker also appear on the normal Layer docker.

The timeline docker also contains functions to manage your layers. View and control all the frames in your animation. In traditional animation workflow, what you do is that you make Keyframes, which contain the important poses, and then draw frames in between ( tweening in highly sophisticated animator’s jargon).įor this workflow, there are three important dockers: This will make the animation dockers and workflow appear. To access the animation features, the easiest way is to change your workspace to Animation. In specific, Krita has frame-by-frame raster animation.

You see no difference in the image, because – as I wrote – Ctrl + V pasted the selection in the exactly same position as the original selection, so both of them are perfectly aligned.īut if you hover with the mouse on this new layer in the Layers docker, you will see a miniature of its content – the pasted part of your original image.Thanks to the 2015 Kickstarter, Krita has animation. So, if you press Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V, there is seemly no change, but if you have opened the Layers docker ( Settings → Dockers → Layers), you will see a new layer with the appended '(pasted)' in its name. With vector layers the things are different: Ctrl + V pastes the selection into the same layer, slightly shifted to the right and down from the original selection and automatically selects it. There is not a possibility to paste it into the same layer, or into an existing layer.

as a new layer ( Ctrl + V to the same position, Ctrl + Alt + V to the position of cursor).

Pasting the selection from the clipboard is possible only You worked in a Paint layer (as you opened an JPEG file). Krita works with different type of layers.
