Sure, it could be considered more than a Corel Painter (which I don’t really know, honestly) alternative than a Photoshop one, which is more dedicated to photos, but these functionalities could be beneficial for any kind of work. I don’t make a lot of digital painting myself (I made comic-strip colorization but it is not really the same thing as painting), but as a veteran Photoshop user since v5 (actual version is v15), I am pretty impressed by a lot of things in Krita. For two main reasons : it’s free, so everyone will be able to test it and see how nice it is, and it is very powerful. I have the feeling that Krita could become one of the most respected digital painting software out there. Wanting to know the beast more deeply, I spend days and nights tweaking and testing all the functions of the software, while watching tutorials and reading articles about it. I have showed what I found to my digital painter friend Victor and he became as excited as me on these tools. In less than 5 minutes, some things that it has to offer just blew my mind. I was reading an article about Krita, a free software for making digital painting, on my friend Yann Isabel‘s Graphyz’Art website, and I decided to take a closer look to this project. Krita is now v3.0, and get a lot of extra features that could have been showcased here, like performance optimization for very large brushes and canvas, traditional animation module, animated brushes, new blending mods dedicated to painting… Also, a lot of improvements on stability, performance, hardware compatibility and UI have been made, which is a very good thing! Update (): This article has been writing at Krita 2.9.2.
