Krita was already one of the best free Photoshop alternatives. Now its latest release is likely to cement the open-source software's popularity among digital artists and illustrators.
Krita 5.3 has come out of beta, and the update introduces a new animation system, on‑canvas text editing, new filters and some useful tools for laying out comics. Meanwhile, Krita 6.0, released simultaneously, marks a major upgrade to the Qt6 framework, future-proofing the software and providing better Wayland/HDR support.
