It's like GIMP, but good.
- mouldysammich 6y agoIts a painting program not an image editing program. they dont compete.
- mkl 6y agoThey do a bit. I often do adjustments and editing on raw photos from my camera with Krita (colour curves, minor rotations, copying heads between group photos so everyone's eyes are open, etc.). Historically GIMP couldn't handle the higher bit depth, so Krita was it.
- franga2000 6y agoOh but they do. If Krita had just a couple more filters, GIMP would be basically obsolete. Out of the photo manipulation I do on Linux, more than 90% I do in Krita.
- preommr 6y agoDoesn't krita have a plugin for gmic? That's got a tonne of filters.
- franga2000 6y agoLooks like it does - that's awesome!
- jdpigeon 6y agoIf there's something that GIMP can do that Krita can't, I never encountered it in over two years of using it for front end development and graphic design work.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoSame here. I don't do much in Krita but it has been able to do everything I wanted gimp to do, but just nicer of a tool.
- ohiovr 6y agoI can't find the resynthesize function in Krita for one.
- PufPufPuf 6y agoThere are some photo-specific effects and tools present in GIMP that are missing from Krita. I remember having to switch to GIMP for some edits, but I can't recall the specific features. 95% of the time, though, Krita is all you need for photo editing.
- jcelerier 6y agophotoshop isn't a website making program and yet...
- anaganisk 6y agoOh you could say the same in reverse for photoshop but i know atleast hundreds of people using it for Digital painting.
- boudewijnrempt 6y agoKrita has about 2,500,000 users on Windows alone.
- pxtail 6y agoJudging by the pace of development, adoption among users and general attitude I think that sooner or later Krita will surpass GIMP and make it obsolete.
- mschuetz 6y agoI'm not doing any painting in Krita, I'm using it for image editing. I always hated when I had to use GIMP in the past and it ways a joy to discover Krita and find that it does everything I needed GIMP for, but with a sensible user interface.
