Selections, as the name suggests, restrict your drawing operations to a certain area on the canvas. They bound your brush strokes, your filters or the transforms you may apply on your layers.
Krita offers most of the basic selection tools you’d expect in a digital painting application: you can make contiguous selections (the tool is also called magic wand in other programs), you can select by color, or draw an outline to select everything inside of it.
In this tutorial, I’ll tell you how selections work. You might not know it, but a selection is just a black-and-white image, just like your layer masks and color channels. Knowing that will allow us to manipulate our selections with blending modes just like we do with our layers.
We will then take a look at the most important selection tools in Krita.
