Leonardo is not finished yet, but it is possible to sign up on out beta list.

Honestly curious: > The strength of Photoshop is in its automation, ability to integrate with all kinds of things, ability to open a hundred different formats by default, plugins, .... This, as far as I can see, sums up Gimp very well. With its open scripting and plugin system (Python) which not only allows anyone to write simple automation scripts, but allows people like me to find importers, exporters, filetype sup…
The problems with GIMP, the last time I checked, were - no support for 16 bit, problems with color management, slow (photoshop is extremely optimized, and now has GPU support). Plus I hate the default UI - they need to redo it completely.
I am the lead developer of a application called Leonardo that we hope will be a future "Photoshop killer" when it comes to digital painting: http://www.getleonardo.com The main focus for us is speed and Leonardo is way faster then any other application including Photoshop (and it is still raster based). Leonardo is not finished yet, but it is possible to sign up on out beta list.
Do they or are they planning on supporting OSX?

What does "way faster" mean more specifically? E.g. how does it handle a 100mpixel image?
The trick Leonardo use to be this fast is that your screen only has a fixed amount of pixels and it is enough to update does pixels super fast for the application to feel fast. Then you have a lot more time to update the rest of the pixels.
This makes Leonardo kind of "resolution independent" and is always super fast whatever the canvas size and brush diameter. On top of this we also have a streaming mechanism of tiles between RAM and file so that you never run out of memory.

it[']s rapidly surpassing everything GIMP spent a dozen years trying to pull off. Standing on the shoulders of giants certainly makes it easier to see.
Haha, cute, but it sure hasn't helped GIMP (the giant in that case being PS).

No Linux, no sale. Krita's been on Linux since 1998.
Is there anything about this tool that is superior to an inexpensive commercial app like Pixelmator other than being FOSS? I'm interested in comparisons to Pixelmator specifically.
