I had my doubts but with nothing to loose I went ahead and downloaded it. I found Krita, a little open-source program that purported to be able to compete with the big boys. Also Photoshop was a huge drain on my system resources, so I came to this website looking for a decent replacement. But try funding that hobby (no remuneration in creative commons) when your a student. I used to be an avid Photoshoper, having used every thing from Elements to Pro. There's a new release coming this June/July and I shall be interested in seeing what's upgraded. What's needed is a set of motivated developers (which Krita seems to have) and enough feedback about what needs improving. The thing with Open source programs is that given a large enough community using an app, it will get developed. The features in Krita are more geared toward the focus of commercial editors like Clip Studio Paint and Corel Painter, than Photoshop and GIMP, and I find it an interesting alternative in that context. Also, clipping is handled differently than most Photoshop comparable programs. Under Win7 I found adjusting layers and other dockers a bit hit or miss. I tried Krita on my dual boot Win7/Mint Linux PCs, and it runs a lot smoother under Linux. It also opens and saves to Photoshop (though it's unclear which version of PSD files that is) so you have an easy way to move documents from Photoshop "compatible" apps which also read/write PSD files (like Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Pain Tool SAI, et al) though text will be imported as bitmaps. You can create animations which are similar to those made in Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop CS6 or later (no vector tweening that I can find). All of these can be masked as well, so you have a variety non-destructive of ways in which to manipulate your image. You can have paint (raster) and vector layers, file layers which are much like placed images in Photoshop, fill layers to add patterns, you can group layers, clone layers, and have filter layers as well. The real gem in Krita, which seldom gets discussed, is its layer system. Neither is there a way of easily combining two shapes as you can in Inkscape. The brush engine is quite good, but the text and vector tools are still works in progress, Text can be either artistic or a block, but I haven't found a way of putting text on a curvy line. The interface has improved as well, and the latest version actually works with my tablet (a straight forward Wacom) whereas previous versions didn't. I've tried Krita several times and it has some great features such as tiling the image you're working on. so I looked mostly at comic related features.
