I don't know G'Mic that much so what happens when you apply it?

Looks like this and depends on which filter you select.

If not familiar with gmic, best to experiment first using Gimp, where you get a preview of the effect depending on values entered.

Also the range of effects available in Krita is not as large as the latest gmic.

Has anyone used the Windows 10 app of Krita that's in the app store? If you have, is it worth downloading and is it better to download the app rather than the program from the site itself?

Forget about the Windows App Store.

I stumbled upon it as I was searching for paint.net. That app you have to pay $4.99 for. However, Krita isn't free.. you have to pay for that too.. $9.79, but Inkscape is. Too bad Gimp doesn't have an app.

Gimp already has an app,
you can get it at Gimp.org.

M$ will extract the last drop of blood.

Some quotes from M$

There’s a Windows 10 for everyone - Windows 10 S
Windows 10 S is streamlined for security and performance, and works exclusively with apps from the Microsoft Store.

Krita £8.19 incl. VAT but it also says
..Krita is a FREE and open source painting tool designed for concept artists..
and ..Get this app while signed in to your Microsoft account and install on up to ten Windows 10 devices.

That is kind of them, what a bargain for a free application.

Thanks paynekj,
for the bugzilla link.
There's a lot more to this issue then meets the eye.

I know this topic is old but I need help. I need help with adding the updated gmic to Krita 4.2.6 Every time I try, the new version either doesn't show up or I get errors. Where do the files go? I have the recent updated version of Krita and the recent updated version of gmic. I tried asking through social media and I didn't get the answer I was satisfied with. I'm using Windows 10 64 Bit. The version of Gmic I have in Krita is 2.6.7 and I want to update it to 2.7.1. Help please.

Download the gmic-krita plugin https://www.fosshub.com/GMIC.html?dwl=g ... _win64.zip and unzip it in its own folder somewhere convenient. I suggest in your 'Users' folder.

Start Krita. Go to Settings -> Configure Krita. Bottom of that is a Gmic-QT Integration section. Open that.

Krita already comes with a built in Gmic, an older 2.6 version. Use the search folder to find that new version you just downloaded and unzipped.

..and OK that

Restart Krita and check in Filters -> Start G'mic-QT that the new version is there.

I gave it another try and it works. Thanks, Rich.

Krita 4.4.0 is released.

https://krita.org/en/

and I have been playing with it.

Krita has now been updated to 5.1.5. I don't see G'MIC 3.2.3 anywhere in Krita since it's supposed to be built-in. The version I have in Krita is 3.1.6... I think. Anyway, I'm wondering where the updated version of GMIC for Krita is. I have reached out to the krita developers on social media, but I have yet to hear back from them. I'm using Windows 10. Any help in finding out where a download is or where it is in Krita would be greatly appreciated.

You can't anymore update G'MIC inside Krita (got the same problem on Linux (appimage) from Krita version 5.0)
Thus you will have the version of G'MIC of what the developers of Krita will put in... no more choice, you'll have to cope up with an outdated plugin, but the worse part is you cannot anymore help G'MIC, because if you find a bug, they will ask you to switch the latest version, which you cannot...

Ah, okay. Well I guess I'm stuck with version 3.1.6.
