Maletilstand: Krita giver valget mellem to maletilstande: opbygning og vask. Det første valg opbygger farven ved maling i et strøg, det andet giver dig en jævn farve i et strøg, selv hvis du maler over det samme sted igen og igen.
Painting mode: Krita offers a choice between two painting modes: buildup and wash. The first choice builds up color while painting in one stroke, the second choices gives you an even color in one stroke even if you go over the same place again and again.
