Red area for testing
I received this complain about Krita's Contiguous Selection Tool being too slow
from the artist Goshaag who drew us many lovely Kiki fanarts. When he was
drawing this: https://twitter.com/goshaag/status/1011276763475922944 He
encountered many slowdowns while his machine is nowhere low performance. Of
everything the most problematic one being Krita's Contiguous Selection Tool is
just too slow.
I've tested Krita's Contiguous Selection Tool with the file I attached. I
tested against Krita, GIMP and Paint.NET. Krita needed 1.5 seconds to finish a
Contiguous Selection on his XEON L5410 4GB machine. It took about the same
amount of time on my i7-6560U 16GB machine to do the same, indicating it being
slow by its nature. GIMP can do it with its similar "Fuzzy Select Tool"
instantly, and reportedly did Paint.NET and SAI.
"Krita's Magic Wand Tool is too slow" is one of the most common reason I heard
for which people stopped using Krita. I think people from PS and SAI expect the
tool to do the job in-a-snap just like in those programs, especially for those
whose workflow depend heavily on such a tool. Is it possible to improve its
performance? Thank you!
