From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Instead, I think Krita has a good chance of moving into photo editing with enough funding.

As someone who doesn't really do photo editing, one thing I never quite understood is what's missing for that to be viable right now.

For reference, the one time I had to edit a photo a few years ago, I just used Krita to move/remove a few objects and do some basic color grading. It didn't feel like there was anything missing.

Granted, I never used software like Photoshop either.

There's a few areas where it's lacking, the text tool being one of them, and it also can't export to PDF for professional book cover printing. But I'm not a professional photo editer either, and almost exclusively use Krita for editing anyway, since it's so my h easier to use.

I see. So it's less about editing the pictures themself, and more about what they'll be used for.

And yeah, Krita is main image editing and drawing tool as well, helped out by Inkscape for vector graphics and Aseprite for pixel art.

I think the missing link is viable raw photo management and color space transforms. Photoshop is just built well for that. But in terms of drawing Krita blows Potatoshop out of the water
