Krita release notes are superb studies in how to create software product pages: lots of context, plenty of examples, clear explanations, both features and benefits, thanks and credits, and call outs to real world users.

Kudos to the Krita team for the great upgrade.

How does it compare to Photopea for beginners? Is it similar enough that I could follow along tutorials meant for Photoshop?

Edit: It looks like it's oriented more towards painting than photo editing

I don't find your blanket statement accurate.

It is suitable for both applications, painting and photo editing. I have used it strictly for photo editing professionally and privately and it works flawlessly. Highly recommended. I use the knowledge I have from my Photoshop days and apply them in Krita, no issues there. For me it is a Photoshop drop-in replacement.

I love Krita it is a great free open source photoshop replacement and does photo editing better than Gimp. People will say Krita is a digital painting program but it still goes photo editing in a much less frustrating way than gimp.

How does Krita compare to Gimp at this point?

(Since someone on the comments here said it can be a Photoshop drop-in replacement)

When I tried Krita a few years ago I couldn't imagine using it over things like Clipstudio yet. I am really rooting for Krita though, so Ill probably give it another shot soon.

There's exactly one thing I still prefer to do in Gimp - splitting a single image into multiple images, one per RGBA/HSL channel. There's also some image formats that Gimp supports that Krita does not. But that's it. There's nothing else I miss, and Krita is just incredibly far ahead on usability.
