the video is mindblowing because on one hand, adobe photoshop announced this as "their own next big thing" and here we have an open source software replicating this same thing, so cool.

edit:

this also means photoshop doesnt have the "moat" they seem to have built around the generative ai thing and their software.

What Krita and the KDE project in general have achieved is nothing short of phenomenal, and I don't believe the power of libre software is recognized enough even in dev communities like Hacker News.

Another video from the page showing pose editing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QDPEcVmdLI

That is absolutely amazing, but it is a shame it has to update the entire image on pose change, and you get a new background everytime.

[anhner]

i think one could generate the background first and then the characters separately on a different layer, so any editing only affects them and not the background

Edit: just tried it and it mostly works. Generate background, then add pose, add new layer paint on top of pose, select area around character and click generate. The caveat is that it also generates a bit of background around the character, but it does not change it so dramatically

[IanCal]

Elsewhere in the video they limit changes to a specific region - I wonder if that works currently with the pose changes.

[seanthemon]

this is insane, I don't even know if adobe could replicate this easily with photoshop, too many missing features. Excited to see this going forward.

Krita support for generative inpainting has been around since the beginning of the Stable Diffusion craze. It was one of the first AI projects I saved. It definitely predates Photoshop adding it.

Off the top of my head, this plugin is from Nov 6, 2022, and I know there were others before this (or maybe it was just this shared in earlier form). https://github.com/sddebz/stable-diffusion-krita-plugin

Stable Diffusion heralded an explosion in generative AI that predated ChatGPT. Weird how OpenAI got all the credit when it was Stable Diffusion that first opened the gates.

Stable Diffusion came out much later than DALL-E by OpenAI, so I'd say they deserve some credit.

Nah that is an early version of a plugin that uses A1111 as the backend instead of ComfyUI (it does have a newer and maintained replacement, but its not the one in OP, which uses a ComfyUI backend.)

While watching the video I was also thinking "just like Adobe's stuff". Many of the Photoshop users will ask themselves why they should continue to pay them, if the evolution continues this way. Nice to see.

Sure, Krita is not Photoshop, but for the tasks certain creators will be doing in the next decade, they won't have a need for Photoshop anymore.

Interesting to see that the video is 2 months old.

[unstuck3958]

> they won't have a need for Photoshop anymore.

That is already true for not just Photoshop, but for almost any kind of proprietary software. If you are willing to embrace the caveats and DIY nature of FOSS, for almost every task FOSS Software is good enough (and sometimes better than proprietary).

I think one of the major reasons of popularity of proprietary software vs FOSS is marketing.

2d CAD drafting is still lacking a bit

From that video you posted:

https://youtu.be/Ly6USRwTHe0?t=127 <-- "now draw the rest of the owl"

[Traubenfuchs]

Thanks for linking the video. The GitHub screenshots are completely useless, because there are no before/after comparisons.

[simbolit]

If you look at the very right of the screenshots, there is a "history" of generations with unused alternatives. Me and my visual cortex managed to synthesize "before" images from this information.

Very inconvenient? Yes. Completely useless? No.

[vonjuice]

At this point selecting good screenshots for git readme's should be a profession of its own, it's baffling how many projects' appeal could be really enhanced by simple informative screenshots.

[shultays]

It is not very obvious but the first image was a link to youtube video. The developer should put a play button on it, using his tool perhaps!

[dr_kiszonka]

The beginning is impressive, but the owls made me actually want to try this. Super cool.
