Yall just use Krita if you want a photoshop replacement on Linux and then stop complaining about gimp please. Krita draws circles exactly like photoshop please just use Krita and leave the gimp people alone
I'm a huge Krita fan! But like others I mostly use it for the drawing and painting.
How is it as an alternative to GIMP? (Which I use for simple cut and pastes and that kinda thing.) I haven't actually been able to figure out where the wall is that says "No, use GIMP for this."
Does GIMP maybe have better filters and layer operations and that kinda thing maybe...?
Pretty much every filter I need from PS like levels, curves, unsharp mask, blurs, etc are there and I even get all of my layer styles. If you were familiar with photoshop circa cs3 era I honestly think it's just better, but I'm a Linux user and software engineer, not a professional graphic designer or photo manipulator
I avoided it for so long and just used photopea online instead because I thought krita was just for drawing and I don't do that. I'm sure it's fantastic for that but I don't draw and was so used to photoshop I didn't imagine it'd be basically a better version of it and written in QT, but I was pretty surprised at how it's just that
I use both.
Krita is for drawing. GIMP is for making memes.
