        I think they are just trying to set expectations. A ton of people conflate digital painting and photo manipulation so if an app can’t do both like Photoshop they think it’s trash.

          yeah, people bitch and moan about how gimp doesn’t do exactly what photoshop is. Forgetting that they also rep about how day to day life is simply about getting shit done, and doing the next thing in life. Ignoring the fact that they can literally just do this with adobe.

          It’s such a weird take IMO. to sit there, and say that life is about suffering, but then the second you are presented with even a modicum of suffering, you go “no i can’t, it could not possibly be done, it is simply impossible, it is merely a pipe dream” knowing that they literally hold an antithetical view point.

          Humans adapt and overcome, we went from being hunter gather society, to agrarian, to industrialized and commerce based society. You’re telling me you can’t stop using photoshop?

            Switching to another program takes time, i would recommend those people to learn the program, and gradually switch to such programs.

              yeah, don’t open it and expect to be immediately productive. It’s just not going to happen, if you feel the need to bitch about it go complain to adobe, they’re the ones creating this mess.

                I’m not an adobe products user, the last time i used Photoshop was for making a Geometry Dash lile icon, and following up a tutorial, but after that, nothing, GIMP is the oldest Libre Software i know, and i am grateful for it.

          Yeah that’s stupid, don’t expect Krita and GIMP to be Photoshop clones, they are great programs that don’t need to mimic Photoshop in any way.

          Besides, they are easier on resources than the goddamn photoshop.

    I remember when Photoshop was just that program you used to take aa picture of a boat and a picture of a road and combine them to make a boat sailing through concrete, then you show it to mom and she goes “oh that’s meet sweetie” then you show it to grandpa and he gets all like “HOLY FUCK THATS AMAZING!!!”

    Now when people make amazing artwork on one software but then somehow can’t find the equivalency or accept the different scope on others and give them bad reviews

    I really like krita though and I use it with one of the cheaper huion tablets for when I want to draw dumb shit like genetalia monsters or ideas for welding projects.

    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.

    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.

    If I’m coming from Adobe, how much will I be missing?

    (This looks awesome btw, I’m just trying to be informed)
