Also I use photopea online because I was so used to old Photoshop
Krita is really nice but it's an artist's tool, not a general image editor. GIMP is a general image editor but… not really nice.

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.
I may start doing the same, at least when the tool-sets overlap. 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.

If your workplace has a rule against cutesy mascots, you can use --no-splash to disable the splash screen on all platforms. I'm not sure what place of work would consider this mascot to be NSFW (maybe a theocratic country where women are forced to hide their bodies for religious reasons?) but the switch doesn't prevent mascot from popping up elsewhere, so if you are in such a place you should probably avoid this prog…
There doesn’t have to be a rule against cutesy mascots for the Krita splash to be just a little bit weird. I don’t have pictures of any women not in my family, especially young girls, on my desk, and people around me would consider it weird if I did, and I would consider it a little weird if they did. True, the switch doesn’t prevent female anime mascots from popping up elsewhere, yet somehow that’s not a problem I’v…

Yeah, this guy getting suppressed is a clear abuse of the HN voting system.
I tried to vouch as well and it didn’t work. Does a second flag lock the comment dead?
Regular downvoting is bad enough, but flagging is effectively an unassailable super-downvote.
It's weird seeing this on the top of the frontpage because of how old the app is. 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 n…
It does a lot of things beyond that, and some people use it as general purpose tool but given that this is not part of the core purpose, it is not surprising that the mileage varies when it comes to text editing or color correction etc. (Still happy if they manage to improve their text tool!)

Why would the gender of the mascot even matter? Would it be better if the mascot was male?
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.
It's a shame Paint.NET doesn't work in Wine. Gimp can do way too much, Krita is mostly for artists, and the various lightweight MS Paint alternatives lack things like layers. Paint.NET has fulfilled my requirements for quick image editing quite nicely during my Windows days. However, I wouldn't call it a competitor to Krita. Krita is very much oriented at artists making digital art whereas Paint.NET is much more pict…

If not Krita, then what might be a better alternative to Paint.NET?
Pinta served me well, but on modern distributions it's become unstable. I've resorted to GIMP and Photopea these days. I'm jealous of the image editor built into SerenityOS (PixelPaint). It's getting awfully close to everything I want out of an image editor, but I'm not brave enough to try to port a Serenity application to Linux.
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.…
"“Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish wo…

No wife/girlfriends/sisters/daughters/nieces in your life? Do you have zero pictures of the boys/men in your life as well? Not even a family picture?
