Question for users: I'm attempting to use Krita for pixel art and I was wondering if there was any way to show a scaled down version of the file I'm editing somewhere in the window as I work?

@jordyd like a preview of your finished work? There’s a preview pane you can pop out under Settings>Dockers>Overview

@emmykei
I tried this, and it ~kind of~ works for what I want. But I have no way of scaling the preview itself.

Consider Aseprite (picture attached). The preview obviously isn't pixel-per-pixel, and it's scaled up using nearest-neighbor to avoid blurring the picture (pixel art usually needs special treatment when resizing). This is much more accurate depiction of what it will look like finished bc with pixel art you generally resize it to retain the pixely feeling on high DPI screens.

@jordyd ahh, unfortunately I don't know how to adjust the preview beyond resizing the window 😕

@emmykei
I was hoping to replace Aseprite with Krita since Aseprite apparently abandoned the GPL, but it looks like I might not be able to do that currently
