I've just installed the alpha version of KOffice 2.0 (it turns out<br>

Krita 2.0 seem to be shaping up nicely (although it is still rather<br>
on the unstable side, in particular with the dockers), but there<br>
are already a number of promising features.<br>
<br>
In particular, my compliments for whoever coded the freehand<br>
drawing tool! That tool is Incredibly smooth and pleasant to use.</blockquote><div><br>That tool has been in Karbon for several years.

Could it also be implemented as back-end for raster guided<br>
painting? Like with the path tool, the full stroke will only be<br>
rendered once the full path is drawn, but the freehand approach<br>
may be more intuitive for many while also allowing incredibly<br>
smooth lines.</blockquote><div><br>Yes, that's possible. I already did that with the curve tool, which strokes a vector path with the current brush.<br>This was discussed before and is on my todo, but not much priority at the moment.<br>
<br>Planned is that the tools should be able to create editable shapes that use Krita brushes. I'm not sure if adding a third freehand tool would be a good idea, as that could confuse many users.<br></div></div><br>
