In this example, it seems to fill outside the shape and connects to the wrong line (not even the closest line?). Looks like making manual gap-closing marks using the fill colour might still be the fastest method, except where the lineart is more gap than line :'D Do you think this is something that will be improved for release, or is this a limitation of the algorithm?
@eishiya True, that's just me who put a too high Close Gap distance in pixels in this demo 😆 So it spreads a bit on the other side until it finds a 15px gap.
I was probably a bit too excited to make a perfect example.

@soc Hey, first part of the demo video I posted shows the 0px (so no effect), the name is a bit standard in the industry for this type of feature. Later in the demo, I show how at 15px it closes gaps on my drawing (the drawing is high resolution and zoomed back).
wow that is a good feature. I hope it pushed to main repo of my distro. sorry if my question is too basic but do you have suggestion when to use fill tool with close gap and colorize mask?
@litt17 Hey, it's in Krita master, so the nightly build (and for your distro, it will be on the next major release of Krita, probably Krita 5.3, but before that you might see more 'point' release fix of 5.2.x).
This Close Gap feature replaces probably the usage of Colorize mask: both feature tries to solve the same type of workflow for color flatting artworks.
ohhhhh cool. Thank you for taking the time to post a video! I have this downloaded but have not made time to get up to speed. I might have to make that a priority.
@redj @tangocharlie True, I made a video about the colorize mask https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQdx6H9BIGs , this feature is for sure (as said by Redj − hello! 😉 ) a bit better at finding a middle ground under the thickness of the line-art. But it's also fully aliased by default, so an icing on the cake after a flat aliased coloring using the Colorize Mask is always a GMIC filter (in Krita) of antialiasing, or a Gaussian blur filter of 1px. In case of transparent line-art (or penciled) it works really well.
I'm positing here a full step by step tutorial about the Colorize Mask feature; you'll find in it everything to get started and extras tips to not fall into ...
Hi David 😊 Personally I like that the flat colors are aliased: I only use my flat colors layer as a selection source, to quickly select each color zone (so I can paint effects on another layer), so having aliased flat colors mean cleaner selections. And since the lines on top cover 99% of the artwork, it's never really visible in the end @tangocharlie
@feacrow Yes. It solves the same type of task in the workflow, but in a very different way and interface. This way ( fill tool + gap closing ) is a bit more familiar coming from other software.

Check the example at the end of https://krita-artists.org/t/close-gap-in-fill-tool/32043, the video of SchrodingerCat for maybe another view on the results with a thin grayscale line-art.

•If you want to expand color fills perfectly under the lines, using colorize masks works better than the fill tool
