Paint.NET/Pinta and XPaint are made as enhanced Paint, so someone that wants a not-trivial graphics editor will find those perfect.
>I commend the Krita team for not merely copying Photoshop/GIMP
Krita (as well as MyPaint) is mainly a painting software whereas Photoshop/GIMP are mainly photo editors. You can do similar things in both, but they target different niches.
- egypturnash 8y agoPhotoshop STARTED OUT as a photo editor but it has grown to become a sprawling beast that has long since incorporated painting tools. Photoshop does not target any one niche any more; it can do photo editing, it can paint, it can animate, it’s got some vector capabilities... there’s a ton of professional artists who use Photoshop for a painterly workflow. Do not be fooled by its name. That merely tells you where it began; it does not tell you what it is useful for after nearly thirty years of adding on one feature after another.
- boudewijnrempt 8y agoThese days, Adobe is even nicking features we did first in Krita for their application! Apparently, painting is a focus again...
