  Krita can do that though https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/filters/adjust.html#color-adjustment-curves https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/filters/adjust.ht...

Can’t I just choose any feature available in Gimp and not in Krita and disprove your point. Sorry if I’m missing obvious hyperbole.

  Not if those features don't provide value. Just having a feature isn't necessarily a benefit if that feature doesn't work, or doesn't work well, or leaves the user frustrated.

    A feature that doesn't work well can still provide value.

      I haven't run into a feature in the GIMP that didn't work well.

      I didn't say it did.

  You can, but that would be inconceivable.

Krita is great, but you can't print in it. GIMP is the only image program I have seen on Linux that shows a preview when printing, and it lets the user freely scale the image to get the desired size on paper.

They even have a healing tool I like to use: https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/tools/smart_patch.html https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/tools/smart_patch... Nice.

  EDIT: I tried the heal tool, it's pretty shit :( Seems to clone random parts which kind of fit, but the tool edges are always visible. Resynthesizer for GIMP works much better (and Adobe's stuff works very well of course).

I use GIMP as a software engineer in game development for modifying assets created by artists. My workflow is typically cropping / resizing, merging images, repositioning, running batch scripts, etc. I never touch a paint brush, but do all sorts of other modifications. GIMP is perfect for my workflow. Simple tasks like resizing selected regions is a chore with Krita. And did I mention that GIMP is scriptable? I've been using GIMP professionally since 2008.
