Check out the [latest release](https://github.com/xubiod/import_from_procreate/releases)\n2. In the menu bar, you can go to **Tools -\u003e Scripts -\u003e Import Python Plugin from File...**\n\n### Actions\n\n1. Check out this [workflow's latest run](https://github.com/xubiod/import_from_procreate/actions/workflows/main.yml) to download its artifact\n  - Topmost run name\n  - Scroll to `Artifacts`\n  - Download the zip file listed\n    - Should be named `import-from-procreate` followed by a hash\n2. In the menu bar, you can go to **Tools -\u003e Scripts -\u003e Import Python Plugin from File...**\n\n### Manually via clone\n\n1. Clone with submodules (`git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/xubiod/import_from_procreate.git`)\n2. Move to under `pykrita` on a Krita install:\n  - ```\n    Krita install/\n        pykrita/\n          import_from_procreate/\n            [repo files]\n    ```\n3. Move `import_from_procreate.desktop` **outside of the folder**:\n  - ```\n    Krita install/\n        pykrita/\n          import_from_procreate/\n            [repo files]\n          import_from_procreate.desktop\n    ```\n  - ![File list](/docs/file_list.png)\n4. Restart Krita if open\n\nThe plugin should be in the list, with the name **Procreate Project Importer**:\n\n![Plugin list](/docs/plugin_list.png)\n\n### Overview\n\nThis plugin can import Procreate documents into Krita with complete layers with:\n- Layer image data\n- Layer opacity\n- Clipping mask/alpha inheritance, alpha lock, visiblity and locks applied properly\n- Correct\u003csub\u003e1\u003c/sub\u003e blend modes\n- Groups with their proper children\n- Colour profiles taken into consideration\n\n\u003csub\u003e1 - Blend modes were estimated from Krita's list, with preference towards\nPhotoshop blend modes. These might not be completely accurate to Procreate as a\nresult.\u003c/sub\u003e\n\nThe plugin adds two items to **Tools \u003e Scripts**:\n\n![Menu items](/docs/menu_items.png)\n\n- **Import \\*.procreate File as New Document...** - Imports a Procreate document into Krita as a new document, using an Open File window.\n- **Procreate Importer Settings...** - Settings for the plugin itself.\n\n---\n\n### Settings\n\n![Settings dialog](/docs/settings.png)\nSettings are heavily documented with tooltips, and are mostly relegated to how to automatically handle popups the plugin shows for certain elements of the import process.\n\n---\n\n### Caveats\n\nThere are some caveats with the current state of the importer that should be mentioned:\n\n- Older Procreate documents that use LZO compression:\n  - Have decompression problems\n  - Take slightly longer to decompress\n  \n- Clipping masks/layers with inherit alpha enabled are accurate with *layer structure* but **NOT _accurate visually_**\n    - You can group a paint layer with its' clipping masks above it together to get accurate visuals\n    - This issue only exists because of how Krita implements this behaviour\n\n---\n\n### Credits\n\n- **Xubiod** - plugin and import logic\n- **Jan Kneschke** - inital pure Python LZ4 decompression logic\n- **Toke Høiland-Jørgensen** - pure Python LZO decompression logic\n- **Andrew Wooster**, **Kevin Kelley** - The `biplist` pip package for reading binary Apple plist files\n    \n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxubiod%2Fimport_from_procreate","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fxubiod%2Fimport_from_procreate","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxubiod%2Fimport_from_procreate/lists"}
