If you’ve been following my takes on why Krita is the new Photoshop and my comparison of Kirta and Photoshop, you may ask, why a Krita review now? This is partly due to my journey trying to find an alternative to Photoshop, but also Krita has come on a long way since version Krita 5.0 released in 2021.
I’ve been making the journey from decades of using Adobe products to the world of open source apps and and Linux software. A large part of that journey was deciding between Krita and GIMP. And at one point I determined that I probably needed both in order to replace Photoshop. But since thinking that way I’ve learned a lot more about Krita, and I now realise how capable it really is, and why it can be the best alternative to Photoshop.
