Krita Professional, open-source raster graphics editor with advanced digital painting and sketching tools and workflow features. Powerful layer-based drawing with tablet support, and a variety of brush styles and supported formats. deltz025 • Nov 2018 • 4 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Excellent UX design interface, non-destructive image manipulation. Superior graphics tablet integration makes it a *better* alternative to photoshop for artists. peterbrand • Apr 2018 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree photoshop is a photo editing software; krita is a painting and sketching app soulrain • May 2019 • 24 agrees and 10 disagrees Disagree Agree Krita's focus is painting rather than photo manipulation. quadratic • Oct 2018 • 23 agrees and 9 disagrees Disagree Agree It's open-source and very easy to use. cami_lla • Apr 2019 • 6 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree I love Krita! It allows me to draw and it also is a good alternative to Adobe Photoshop! Guest • Feb 2020 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Kirita is a digital painting app, not an image editor. Mutsuenka • Dec 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Krita is alternative to painting programms to working with graphical pads. Not photo editors. You can painting on the photo, but GIMP is more universal application. Guest • Nov 2019 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Krita allows you to make drawings and animations with a great quality and ir's also FREE. KRITA4EVER Guest • Jun 2018 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It has almost all drawing features that has adobe photoshop, but the bad poit is that krita is just a drawing and animating program, sadly, it isn't more than that. If you are animator or digital artist, it can be a good alternative to photoshop or paint tool sai, but you just can't do photoshop with it :') Guest • Nov 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Krita is more focused towards drawing, painting, etc. It should not be considered a robust photo editor like Photoshop is. petergriffin • Dec 2019 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree While I prefer GIMP for graphic design, Krita is the best alternative to Photoshop for digital painting pizzalovingnerd • Oct 2018 • 4 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Better for painting, worse for photo/image manipulation (it is where gimp comes in) Guest • Sep 2017 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Photoshop is a professional editing tool. Krita is a very good piece of software, however it isn't a professional software or one that could be used as an alternative for Photoshop. It's closer to the level of Paint.net. If you would like a free and powerful alternative, I'd recommend GIMP, however the user interface is annoying to work with. If you don't mind paying, I'd recommend Affinity Photo, which is $50 one time and is very amazing. UnleavenedEagle • Jun 2019 • 5 agrees and 8 disagrees Disagree Agree I was working with PS since v1.3! Since they started the Creative Cloud versions, they deliver no more quality, so I was looking for a alternative to PS, like Paint.net is. I compared MyPaint, Pixlr, GIMP, Krita and some more, but Krita was the best for me. Easy to switch from PS, no unstable App, can read PS files, and supports privacy by default (a big problem with PS and Pixlr). gaengschter • Feb 2016 • 19 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree If you are looking for a (free) alternative for digital drawing and painting, this is it. Better than Photoshop in this regard - I don't touch Photoshop for drawing and painting anymore, only Krita and ClipStudio. herbertvanderwegen • Sep 2017 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Sleek design, many useful resources, ergonomic UI, really is the best free photo editing software I've used. I only used it for digital drawing though, so I don't know how it fares for other purposes. Guest • Nov 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It's kinda more intuitive to use than GIMP (which is a briliant PS alternative too) interface-wise, and supports CMYK out of the box if one needs it. As of version 3.1 it has pretty advanced support for animation, including opacity curves (GIMP fails completely in that field, animathing anything is a major PITA in it) Atoshi • Dec 2016 • 14 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree Brushes, functionality, and its free. Guest • Dec 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Clean UI and easy to use. I don't think it's as refined as GIMP but still a great alternative. ExquisiteDisaster • Jan 2017 • 9 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree Lightweight, similar interface. TristisOris • Aug 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Was born as a sketching app, now it includes all the Gimp features. Plus new features recently introduced (for example Smart clone, that acts as the content aware brush in Photoshop). In my opinion it is much faster and useful than Gimp. Can be a valid Phototshop replacement. Guest • 8 days ago Disagree Agree It can do anything to an image that photoshop can do - except it does things its own way. For example, every brush can become an eraser brush. It has hidden depths such as the gmic plugin. This is no "Photoshop Clone" and is the better for that. Take time to explore Krita and you will be rewarded. Guest • Apr 2020 Disagree Agree Krita is the best alternative for digital illustrators. Intuitive interface offers options that even Gimp does not have, such as the layer effects available in Adobe Photoshop. However, not everything is flowers, the Krita text tools are still lacking. My recommendation is to use Krita and Gimp together according to the nature of your project. brunoprosaiko • Jul 2017 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Not recommended for photo editing. Guest • Apr 2020 Disagree Agree It's more of a painting software, not much related to photos/images. Guest • Apr 2020 Disagree Agree It is one of the few programs with an airbrush. The only quarrel I have is the color-picker. I prefer the style of color picker/custom color designer in Paint. Otherwise,Krita just boogies right along. Best free art program I've found, between it and IrfanView. I'm golden! clydelyman • Mar 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree MUCH better UI than GIMP or PAINT.NET Guest • Oct 2017 • 3 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Much easier to use than other PS alternatives and fairly intuitive. kristinastarck • Apr 2017 • 5 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree It is basically the same. Same tools and interfaces. Guest • Mar 2017 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree While I like GIMP this is much simpler in design and easier to use. brandonyarvis • Jan 2017 • 5 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Krita is a painting application, It does not really edit photos.
