I mean, what exactly does gimp or photoshop do (besides the RAW editing tools--but if you're using those you're already a professional) that Krita doesn't?

[-] takeheart@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I tried using Krita instead of gimp but found it hard to do color management: adjust levels, exposure, color curves and such. At the time I simply couldn't find any dialogs to do many of those tasks.

[-] TheFonz@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah you're right, it's not meant for that

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Right now I'm in a bit of a bind because part of my workflow relies on exporting particular layers and layer groups as separate images. GIMP has a plugin for it, but it uses Python 2, no longer developed, and likely won't work in GIMP 3. If Krita can do this, I'm switching immediately.

[-] takeheart@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Oh I wish GIMP had a "export visible" functionality. My workaround is usually to "copy visible" and then paste to a new image.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Isn't that what the basic "Export" does?

[-] takeheart@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

You're right. What I actually wish for is a "export selection" functionality so that you can quickly drag a rectangular selection and export that.
