  • I found it kinda weird that the page this link opens on makes it look kinda like a closed source freemium thing, and (on mobile) I had to dig a fair bit to see that it's actually FOSS and an official part of the KDE project.

    I run KDE as my daily driver, and hadn't heard of Krita before; so yeah, I guess it could use a bit more exposure.

  • Thanks I haven't seen it but GIMP just makes me frustrated. Great for what it is but not intuitive for me.

  • Been using Krita for a long while, and I love it. Fantastic alternative to Photoshop and other art programs and image editors.

  • I struggle to use krita and the basic functions are a bit annoying. I find myself having to look up things a lot when I try to use it.

    • That's how I feel with Photoshop. I grew up with fireworks and still to this day I miss the workflow fireworks allowed. I've never found an exact replacement for it. It was easier for me to completely soft too a new paradigm and use inkscape, than it was to use Photoshop. I've not tried krita yet though but I'm less of a "drawer", at least at the moment anyway.

  • Gimp works great for me. The only thing it's lacking is CMYK editing, and Krita also doesn't have that. I have to do my graphics editing on Windows.

    • You probably already looked into the Separate+ plugin? But yeah, even now native CMYK support is lacking because — chicken, meet egg — there hasn't been a lot of support from the graphics industries toward development of that feature.
