As a long-time user and supporter of Krita, I'm thrilled to see it mentioned here. However, I must express my concern about the choice of emphasizing "FREE" in all caps in this headline. While I understand that the cost-free nature of open-source software is certainly appealing, I feel that this particular framing could cheapen the overall value proposition of Krita. Krita has much more to offer than just being free.…

I used to use Gimp for photoshop type operations but it's become unusable for me due to slowness, even with a M1 native build. No idea what's up. Tried Krita and it works great
Agreed. Just made the switch over to Krita from Gimp for some simple workflows. Everything feels much faster across Mac, Windows, and Linux. Also the tools somehow make a bit more sense out of the box.
Any experience using it's python scripting tools? I've done some scripting with gimp, but the documentation is really really poor and it was a much more frustrating experience than it ought to have been.
It's great for annotating with symbols and circling stuff, and the "New from clipboard" function is awesome, but the text editor holds it back entirely. It's painful to do ANYTHING with text and they choose not to triage it.
There's a minimum text size, too, so it auto-goes back to that high text size unless you type a number in.
It's not ready for mainstream, I've sent this feedback as many others have.
I tried switching to it so I had an FOSS alternative to paint.net, but so far it's taking some getting used to. I really wish paint.net was FOSS - it's perfect.

NSFW doesn't have only to do with sex or crudity. Unless you are in an animation shop, the splash screen screams "not serious" to anyone not in that scene. My kids draw anime. A boss might go, "Why are you using a toy for real work? Do you need Adobe suite?"

Just because someone's post is clear, well-structured, and includes a final recap doesn't mean it was AI-generated.
Then again, maybe I'm a cat using CatGPT.
