Krita is an excellent piece of software.
A year ago I transitioned from the Adobe suite to FOSS. To replace Illustrator, Inkscape was perfect, but it took a while before I found a good Photoshop replacement. Tried GIMP, Paint.NET and Seashore. All of them had issues either with stability, feature set or UX.
When I finally tried Krita, my search was over. Even if it is clearly aimed at digital painting (which I don't do a lot) it is great for general bitmap tasks. And incredibly stable. It just feels like premium software.
On some level it is subjective of course, but I think everyone should give it a try.
Thanks Krita!
- distances 6y agoI've always thought Krita is a painting app. My image editing needs are pretty modest developer tasks: cropping, scaling, exports to different formats, occasional curve edits on photos. So no painting, just editing mostly designs, sometimes photos. I've really been pretty happy with Gimp. Would Krita also cover these tasks?
- nacs 6y agoAbsolutely. Krita easily has all of these features and more. I honestly don't like how it calls itself "just" a drawing/painting program as it seems to be just as capable as Photoshop if not better. Also waaay better UI/UX than GIMP. Give it a go.
- distances 6y agoThanks! I will. I'm already using a KDE based system so being Qt app Krita would fit in just nicely.
