krita

This is worth backing, because Krita have run a few rounds of crowdfunded development and have always delivered handsomely.

And Krita is free and open source as well, so it doesn't support the original claim.

I never used Krita before today-- trying it out, it made me realize how much I love MyPaint.

Lately I have been using Krita for digital photo editing, not exactly its best strength, but still quite effective.

I'm also a member of the KDE community as is boud with the Krita project.

I ended up using Krita instead, which actually has a UI that makes sense.

It's there to show that it can be done, but the Mac port of Krita needs funding -- about 30k euros, at least, to make it work well.

Is a question we, Krita developers, get asked a lot.

Well, I guess you haven't checked out Krita since 2003.

Admittedly there are some very nice-looking applications now, like Krita and Natron, but window managers and the desktop seem to have stalled.

I really really want to love Krita and I'll give it a shot on Linux when I get the chance but sheesh, any classroom wanting to adopt it en masse is definitely trading one evil for another.

But it's still strange, to many people, to see that Krita shares a bug tracker, a forum, a mailing list platform, a git repository platform with a bunch of other projects that they aren't interested in.

"The Krita Web site is seeing very high traffic at the moment" might be better for a multi-lingual audience.

Krita has had filter layers (non-destructive, mask + filter layers right inside the layer stack) since _2005_.

Krita has had color management, with icc profiles and cmyk, rgb, lab and xyz since 2005.

Krita 2.9 has non-destructive transform masks -- and 2.9 is in beta right now.
