‘Goodbye Photoshop’ and ‘Hello Krita’ at University Paris 8
If you are doing art Krita is a fine Photoshop replacement. So I can understand the switch.<p>But I'm also a little amazed that there still isn't a good Photoshop replacement.
I think that's because a lot of developers think Photoshop is layers and blend modes. But imho the real strength of Photoshop is the interface. Not only the GUI but also the interaction design.<p>I can do with Gimp what I can do with Photoshop but it will take a lot more time. In-place text editing, attaching effects to layers (drop shadows), non destructive editing, it's all missing from most Photoshop alternatives.<p>Also check out Natron (mentioned in the article): <a href="https://natron.inria.fr/" rel="nofollow">https://natron.inria.fr/</a> I never heard of it but it's looking great!
