‘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.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.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.Also check out Natron (mentioned in the article): https://natron.inria.fr/ I never heard of it but it's looking great!
