.. _getting_started: *************** Getting Started *************** Welcome to the Krita Manual! In this section, we'll try to get you up to speed. If you are familiar with digital painting, we recommend checking out the :ref:`introduction_from_other_software` category, which contains guides that will help you get familiar with Krita by comparing its functions to other software. If you are new to digital art, just start with :ref:`installation`, which deals with installing Krita, and continue on to :ref:`starting_with_krita`, which helps with making a new document and saving it, :ref:`basic_concepts`, in which we'll try to quickly cover the big categories of Krita's functionality, and finally, :ref:`navigation`, which helps you find basic usage help, such as panning, zooming and rotating. When you have mastered those, you can look into the dedicated introduction pages for functionality in the :ref:`user_manual`, read through the overarching concepts behind (digital) painting in the :ref:`general_concepts` section, or just search the :ref:`reference_manual` for what a specific button does. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :caption: Contents: getting_started/installation getting_started/starting_krita getting_started/basic_concepts getting_started/navigation
