      But if you were a professional photoshopper I’d imagine you wouldn’t work with Krita all day.

      You prefer Krita over GIMP for photoshopping tasks?

        i got both but decided to first learn krita as i like drawing more than image manipulation. though i’ll be needing to hop into gimp soon i feel, as krita’s text editing options are clunky at best

      It’s nifty on Windows where I can run all kinds of other professional productivity programs. I went back to Windows because Linux can’t deliver and likes to break on updates. -Someone that loves CLI and didn’t mind that about it.
