I'd like to say it's pretty good now and should cover most of them! Worth testing the trial yourself, as I hear more from people with issues than without of course. Tested on Wacoms, Huions, XP Pen, though some XP Pen/Huions/Surfaces still have Winink troubles I'm patching

@kalapaint.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 7:24 PM

They're all planned for but not possibly just yet (I'm just one dev but I'd love to make these). only .abr importing is supported atm, but the rest will come

@kalapaint.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 3:51 PM

Thank you! It's planned :)

Having fun trying out @kalapaint.bsky.social !
After escaping photoshop, this is a joy to paint in & made by artists to boot!

Updated the gallery page with lots of amazing art made with @kalapaint.bsky.social so far. Been mindblowing seeing people use my own program to make such cool stuff! 😍🥰

Yes there are two so far, a "Moving average" and "Pulled string" that work on brushes, lasso, lasso paint

@kalapaint.bsky.socialSep 15, 2026, 6:49 PM

Not yet, but good ideas. The per channel editing I'll deffo be adding. Can set up any kind of custom file export like this no prob as well. Would be cool to also implement other interesting texture packing features for pipeline stuff in the future, maybe even image management pipeline scripting...

a little Kala Paint painting between coding things @kalapaint.bsky.social

I added a smoothed speedup feature to the Timelapse Manager for this that everyone can now use!

I used it here to make the rendering stage play 6x faster(!). A bit more fun to watch without the sketch going by in 2 frames

No timeline for now. I've got a mac now for development but not sure how long it will take just yet!

Had a lot of fun painting these with a new painting program my friend has been working really hard on. If you're looking for a non-subscription program with a dev who genuinely cares about artists and is constantly improving it, please check out @kalapaint.bsky.social 😤
