SUMMARY In Colour Management -> General, there's a setting to select the default colour model for new images. The standard Krita default appears to be "RGB/Alpha (8-bit integer/channel)". If you set this to, for example, "RGB/Alpha (16-bit float/channel)", this should be the new default for all new images. However, the setting appears to be ignored. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set the default colour model to anything other than "RGB/Alpha (8-bit integer/channel)" 2. Save settings 3. Create a new image 4. Observe that the colour model is still set to "RGB/Alpha (8-bit integer/channel)" OBSERVED RESULT Here's a video that shows me selecting a 16-bit floating point colour model, and a linear display profile. Note that the display profile *is* respected, but the colour model isn't: https://ataxia.io7m.com/2020/01/29/krita_depth.mkv EXPECTED RESULT New images should have the correct colour model.

I can confirm this for the Jan 28th 4.3.0 prealpha appimage git(049dd11)
Can confirm for Feb 23rd 4.3.0 prealpha appimage git(369d552). Changing the default at the new file screen doesn't affect the value stored in settings. Claiming bug.

Git commit d41048ccc582bcfeef003969eaf8a0f8e59e5da9 by Dmitry Kazakov, on behalf of Santhosh Anguluri. Committed on 18/02/2021 at 08:03. Pushed by dkazakov into branch 'master'. Fix "Default colour model for new images" Before this commit, only working color space is changed when default color model is changed. But that does not change anything to the new image dialog. This MR provides an option to use a default set color model or last used color model using a checkbox. Tested as follows: 1)Config Krita -> Color Management -> General -> Change default color model for new images(with checkbox checked). 2) Make a new image 3) The new default model and bitdepth appears.
