Krita is a popular open source painting application that has been rapidly improving as of late. They just released version 3.1.2 and the marque feature is the addition of audio support to animations to help with synchronizing with voices and music. You can import WAV, MP3, OGG and FLAC files and the audio can optionally be included when exporting animations. In addition to audio support, 3.1.2 contains several new features and bug fixes including:
- Ctrl key continue mode for Outline Selection tool: if you press ctrl while drawing an outline selection, the selection isn’t completed when you lift the stylus from the tablet. You can continue drawing the selection from an arbitrary point.
- Allow deselection by clicking with a selection tool: you can now deselect with a single click with any selection tool.
- Added a checkbox for enabling HiDPI to the settings dialog.
- remove the export to PDF functionality. It is having too many issues right now. (BUG:372439)
