Hi Ramon,

Very interesting plan indeed! :-)

I have just read your draft: Here are a few questions.

1)
Which version of Krita are you going to cover: 2.6 or 2.7?
As for me, I would go for the 2.7 v. since it has more options :-)
In addition, in my view, the 2.6 v. is already well covered by the PDF \
booklet [1].

2)
Do you plan to record all your videos on Windows or Linux?
On the one hand, I suppose most users are more interested in Windows
On the other hand, at present, the Windows builds are less stable than the \
Linux ones. As a consequence, currently, I am aware it might be a bit \
problematic for you to choose the right platform :-)

3).
Do you think it might be useful to add some visual aid concerning the \
keyboard shortcuts you apply while working on Krita?

On Linux, for doing this, for instance, there is Key-mon:
http://code.google.com/p/key-mon/
It even looks like it has been used lately by David Revoy [2] :-)

The only problem concerning this tool regards its use with the full-screen \
option. In short, I am not 100% sure whether Key-mon works fine with this \
feature enabled [3] on Krita.

On Windows, to get the same option, I suppose you should be forced to opt \
for a Demo version of Camtasia [4]

4)
Regarding the choice of using Gimp (and G'MIC) to finalize your paintings I \
have mixed feelings. Do NOT get me wrong: I work myself with both Gimp and \
G'MIC (they are superb tools)! Nevertheless, since this DVD is supposed to \
promote Krita, maybe, it might be a better route not to adopt other \
"similar" open source softwares. Gimp is already hugely widespread and does \
not need any further promotion :-) In short, you might try to force your \
viewers to overcome Krita shortcomings by  not starting another different \
graphical application to get the job done :-) BUT, surely, this is really a \
*minor* controversial point (actually, it is just a personal \
thought...)....

Best regards,

Silvio Grosso

    Hi all,
    As Krita is evolving is more and more noticeable a good interest for \
the program capabilities and features.  Recently i was talking with Boud \
about making a new DVD for Krita. After the first Draft i want to share \
with you my ideas about this new project. So here we have a Cover test with \
layout and text. Let me know what do you think about it.

    I have attached the Draft of what i think it would be interesting to \
cover but may change in future if something is lost and is important.

    I hope you like it!
