Reddit krita gimp5/16/2023 ![]() ![]() I've used it a lot and its pretty awesome as well. If you're into vectors - inkscape is all you need. His fellow Linux redditors responded with their thoughts:īull500: ”Well if you're into painting, i would recommend Krita.There is no limits to what its capable of now and into the future. I'm fine with the rest of the software stack on linux for my needs, the only issue is Photoshop, I'll be using gimp for texture editing and general graphic design stuff. Now I have used gimp a few times, I've edited photos fixed things up, I just havent spent a massive amount of time on it and used it in production.īit of a background, I'm a 3D artist. So my question is has anyone one switch fully over from photoshop to Gimp and inkscape? How was the transition, do you feel limited, any other comments or thoughts. my Mac died a few months ago and I'm looking at going full linux for a desktop workstation. So, really, just try both and see what works.I'm looking at getting a new home computer. Also, last time I checked, it didn't have functionality for scanners, so if you're working traditionally to digital that might be a problem, but that can be simply overcome by scanning into GIMP, exporting the file as a png or jpg and opening in Krita. It should be noted, however, that since krita was SPECIFICALLY made for digital artists in mind, it likely lacks a lot of the more advanced features from GIMP that are meant for photo editing. Just searching Krita on DA or Tumblr shows a lot of examples of what you can make with the software, but I think because it's reletively new, not many people have made tutorials for it, though I think most PS, Sai and CSP tutorials are at least somewhat compatible. While GIMP is made for general image editing, Krita is made specifically for digital artists and thus has a lot of brushes and what have you (I also found its colour palette much easier to get good colours with than GIMP) if I remember correctly it even has functionality for making animations if you're into that. ![]() Well it's free so it can't hurt to try it out.įor a slightly less useless answer Though I personally cannot vouch too much from experience since I only used it for a few hours, yes, you can make professional quality art with Krita. Having the tool options on the side of your screen in Gimp is also quite convenient, compared to having them in a separate dropdown menu in Krita.Īs others said, both programs are free so you should definitely try them out to see what works best for you, for my way of working (now) Krita is better for digital painting, but I still prefer Gimp for photo stuff and general simple(r) image creation. ![]() Some of the tools are way better in Gimp though, like I love the selection tools in general in Gimp (Fuzzy select tool, select by color, lasso tool and the different shape selections) and don't particularly like them in Krita. The (default) art tools are just a way better fit for digital painting (in my opinion of course) and the performance on my current PC is much better. The last time I used Gimp extensively has been 2 years ago, in that time some of the things I mentioned missing in Gimp maybe be implemented at this point. As a long time user of both programs I switched from Gimp to Krita for digital painting like stuff. ![]()
