Hello!
I've been a Krita user for the better part of the last 10 minutes, and created
a KDE account just for posting this very small issue that I nevertheless found
worth tracking.I just needed to open a PSD to resize it, and Krita was
recommended to me.
I want to say the software looks stunning, very powerful, and is very fast to
boot. However, to crop the canvas of the image, it took me several minutes of
scrambling through menus (despite that I found how to scale the image
immediatly), and this left a bad taste in my mouth as a first user âšī¸
It's one of the most common things.I would like to illustrate why:
- This is the option on Paint.NET : https://i.imgur.com/xmQlzWF.png
"Size of the drawing area" (and three little dots to indicate clicking is safe
and will just open another menu)
- This is the option on Photoshop: https://i.imgur.com/LbHgKqP.png
"Size of the workspace" (and three little dots to indicate clicking is safe and
will just open another menu)
- This is the option on english-language Krita: https://i.imgur.com/7p94lLD.png
(also three little dots to indicate clicking is safe and will just open another
menu)
- And now this is how it looked on French-language Krita, as it opened itself
as by default (first launch, first time user) https://i.imgur.com/qo4Rpc0.png
Canvas ("Toile", but commonly you'd say "zone de dessin" or "zone de travail"
or "document") is translated as Tableau, which is very rare and a bit counter
intuitive (in computer graphics, Tableau often means "Table" instead)
You will notice the three dots are also missing (...) meaning this does not
indicate that the option is safe to try and will only open another menu. This
is why I clicked on almost every other option (Properties, Cut image, Offset
image, Separate image) before I even thought of trying this one - as I thought
clicking on it would make an immediate change and not open a prompt, so I just
discarded it.
I only thought of clicking on it when I noticed the Keyboard shortcut was
identical to the Photoshop one, but that's because I have prior Photoshop
knowledge. Otherwise I would have likely been stuck.
Sorry for making such a big report for such a small issue, I wanted to make
clear what the problem I encountered was and why it made the first time use of
Krita a bit frustrating. I could not find how to embed images like on the KDE
Issues website so I had to upload to imgur instead. If there is a way to attach
multiple images to this ticket directly instead, please direct me as to how and
I will try :)
Please keep up with the amazing work, this software looks incredible đ
Kind regards,
Louve
