The Bezier Curve Tool in Krita allows you to create smooth, precise curves by adjusting control points. Here's how you can use and control the curve points effectively:

Steps to Use the Bezier Curve Tool in Krita:

  1. Select the Bezier Curve Tool:

    • Choose the Bezier Curve Tool from the toolbar (it might be hidden under the Freehand Path Tool).
    • You can also use the shortcut B if it's set.

  2. Draw the First Control Point:

    • Click on the canvas to set your first point (this will be a sharp corner at first).

  3. Add Additional Control Points:

    • Click again on the canvas to place the second control point.
    • Continue clicking to add more points, and Krita will automatically draw straight lines connecting the points.

  4. Create Curves:

    • To create a smooth curve, click and drag (instead of just clicking) the control points.
    • This will create handles (or direction lines) that control the direction and strength of the curve.
    • As you drag the handles, you will see the curve change shape.

  5. Adjusting the Handles:

    • The handles of each point control the curve between two points:
      • Longer handles create smoother, more gentle curves.
      • Shorter handles create sharper curves.
    • Adjust the handles by clicking and dragging them to refine the curve. You can also adjust each handle independently for more control.

  6. Close the Path:

    • To complete the curve, you can either click on the first point to close the path or hit Enter to leave it open.

Control Point Adjustments:

  • Drag the Control Points: Clicking and dragging the control points will move the anchor points.
  • Drag the Handles: By dragging the handles that come out of the control points, you can adjust the direction and smoothness of the curve.
  • Delete a Point: Hold Ctrl (or Cmd on macOS) and click on a control point to delete it.
  • Convert Point to Corner: Right-click on a control point and choose "Make Corner" to turn it into a sharp corner, removing its handles.

Key Tips for Controlling Bezier Curves:

  • Symmetry: If you want symmetrical curves, make sure to adjust the handles equally on both sides of the control point.
  • Refining Curves: Keep adjusting the handles and control points until the curve matches what you're aiming for. You can always add more points to refine the path further.
  • Smoothing: If your curve has jagged edges, try shortening the control handles or adjusting their positions to smooth them out.
