I had that book -- bought it in Leyden, the Netherlands when I was studying Russian. When we have a group of Russian orphans staying over in the early nineties, I gave them all my Russian books, including this one. It was really good to see

It's getting pretty hard to manage for me, the poor maintainer :-). We've always put all our income into paying for development (and hardware, and sprints), so right now on Saturdays I'm being my own secretary/HR person&

_My_ source code is invaluable. It's open, public, free to reuse under the GPL. It's a complete implementation of a painting application used by millions of people. It's a huge amount of knowledge readily accessible. You won&

PSD is horrible, that is certainly true. And underdocumented. And dumb... And we needed to implement read/write support for that in Krita. But Painttool Sai's format is actively evil, with different kinds of encryption for differ

Well... We think it just isn't that critical a feature, given that Krita and Scribus work together quite well. Especially in this day and age when the the vast majority of images get uploaded to pixiv, twitter, artstation, deviantart a
