So glad I'm finally able to What is Krita?.
Baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me
Brush tools.
Free and Open Source image editor, sort of worse than Photoshop but with enough learning and effort you can get the same jobs done with both
Why "Worse"?
Krita it's meant to serve as an alternative to Photoshop(In the Digital Painting), Paint Tool Sai and Clip Studio Paint, it has one special function for those with Shaky Hands when drawing in a Graphic Tablet.
Honestly i beleive it's a great program, and doesn't suffer the same issues as Photoshop.
Just personal experience, I guess. Photoshop felt really easy to learn and I never had any issues finding a tool that suited my needs. What I'm saying is that it's less intuitive, not that it sucks or anything lol. Neither program ever failed to do anything I needed it to, I just found myself having to use Google a lot more with Krita.
I also remember having some issues with transparency and saving a file for a crosshair in Half-Life, and that was the only major headache I had with it. There's a lot of terms and options I didn't understand, and I didn't know what to change to make it save the file as it was when I loaded it. But back when I still had Photoshop, it just worked without futzing with any settings.
