I just installed Krita today after hearing how good it is. I had many of my digital artist friends suggest this platform to me. However, i went onto it and almost every feature is grey and wont let me access anything. I cant do anything. Im unsure if this is a bug or a misunderstanding of how to use the program. I did search up on websites and the guide provided on the website but nothing worked. I want to add layers. I clicked on the layers tab at the top, went to new but everything was grey and i couldn't access anything. I also tried clicking 'Ins' to add layers, but not to my surprise, it didnt work. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope for you to get back to me soon. From, Charlotte
Hi Charlotte, hope it helps, link: https://docs.krita.org/KritaFAQ#Krita_starts_with_an_empty_canvas_and_nothing_changes_when_you_try_to_draw_or_Krita_shows_a_black_or_blank_screen_or_Krita_crashes_when_creating_a_document_on_my_Windows_system_with_an_Intel_GPU
It's probably not that; if the gui elements like toolbar buttons and so on are grayed out, it's more likely that there is no image open. Try to create or open an image first.
