Just a friendly reminder example for all those people who only ever heard of GIMP and not wanting to let go of their Adobe products because they don’t like GIMP. Krita deserves more wide spread attention. https://krita.org/en/features/
Hmm, I’m not expressing my opinion, these are the statements from the creators of the tools themselves
Krita is a professional FREE and open source painting program. It is made by artists that want to see affordable art tools for everyone.
It IS a painting program, the reason why you can do a lot of the same things that you can in GIMP is because all of those features are useful in both to both painters and editors
GIMP is a multi-tool it can do illustration but it’s focus is more general purpose and more on being an GNU Image Manipulation Program
Again, these are not my opinions, these are objectionable facts taken from the source.
If you disagree with these you are fine to do so, but telling people they are wrong is just ridiculous and looks wilfully ignorant or argumentative
Just because a statement as an objective fact, does not make it to one. If a program is suited for general purpose editing is an opinion. And what the developers say doesn’t matter in this point. We have our own judgement and opinion.
But you are doing it yourself (with the argumentation it being an objective fact). So if you call people out, then don’t do it yourself. If people are wrong, then I will tell them they are wrong. Krita is a better general purpose editing tool than GIMP is.
But guys like you are just repeating what others say, even if its wrong. Krita is not a painting tool, it is a tool that does painting and general purpose editing. It does not matter what you call the application and how it is marketed from the developers. It is better suited as a general editing tool than GIMP. And I use GIMP since 2008 or so.
