Krita 3.0 is packed with many exciting capabilities and components, but it looks like the best new feature of the upcoming open-source and cross-platform digital painting software will be hand-drawn animation, according to the Krita developers, which should be available as part of the new animation tools promised a long time ago.
Besides being completely ported to the Qt 5 toolkit, Krita 3.0 will offer instant previews, better handling of layers, snapping to guides and grids, a revamped colorspace selector, a new gradient map filter, the tangent normal brush, as well as improvements to the shortcut palette and the keyboard shortcuts.
