Macros In Krita

Graphic Bit #2

This tip teaches you how to use macros in Krita 2.4.

Macros are a way to automate repetitive tasks.  You initially record the steps to complete a task, but then you only have to play back the macro to repeat those same steps.

I use Krita almost exclusively to sketches and layouts.  When I have a drawing that I really like and want to develop further, I usually ink directly over top the sketches.  I set my sketch on the bottom layer and ink above it.  I prefer to have my sketches set to a different color to distinguish it from the inks.  So I normally use the HSV Adjustment filter to change my sketched lines to a bluish color.  Since I do this repeatedly I decided to create a macro to automate this process.
