From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah, that's the problem I have - it's something I end up doing on an awful lot of photos. I need that tool.

At it's heart, Krita is a drawing program with a few concessions to photo editing/manipulation. Whereas Gimp is a photo editing software with a few concessions to drawing.

Unless Krita decides to go the full adobe route and try to do both (which I doubt will ever happen), a feature like setting a white point (or any feature that isn't solely useful for photography but not drawing) will ever be in it.

People making the comparison as though Gimp and Krita are both trying to do the same thing are utterly exhausting.
