Version 2.0.0
Built against Krita 5.2.11 (official release)
May not be compatible with other versions.
Changes since 2.0.0-pre (beta)
- Improved performance of all models
- Lower memory consumption on GPU
- Support BiRefNet HR and Dynamic versions
- but GPU support is currently limited because they can't allocate enough memory for high resolutions
- Free up (some) VRAM after using a tool or filter on GPU #47
If you downloaded extra models for the beta version they may no longer work. Please download them again.
Version 2
- Supports variety of GPU (NVIDIA, AMD, some Intel) on both Windows & Linux
- Much faster startup and loading time on first use
- Lower memory consumption
- Smaller plugin size
It still requires hardware to be reasonably up-to-date: something from the last 8 years should work, but faster is better. Please open an issue with your hardware specs if you find it doesn't work.
Installation
The plugin can now be installed as a Python Extension:
- Download the plugin: Windows | Linux
- Open Krita and go to Tools › Scripts › Import Python Plugin from File...
- Select the ZIP file you downloaded
- Accept and restart Krita
Warning
Please remove old 1.x versions of the plugin first! The easiest way is to re-install Krita.
Background Removal Filter
Smart Fill Tool
You can find an alternative tool next to Krita's "Smart Patch". It works okay for small areas of photos at certain resolutions. But it doesn't generalize well and produces garbage in other situations. Keeping it for now to maybe experiment with different models.
