Is there any reason to use this now that Krita exists, sane name and all?

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

IMHO Krita is more of a drawing app (that's what I use it for) and GIMP (I wish I could make a wish upon the monkey's paw and get it renamed... To Libre Graphics Manipulation App. Or -- LiGMA) is more for editing stuff

But yo'ure entitled to your own opinion ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've taken to calling it LiGMA/GIMP myself.

When I tried to use Krita a few months ago I couldn't set the white point in the levels tool. I looked it up and the tool apparently doesn't exist. That makes it awful for processing scanned artwork in my workflow.

Soooo, The GIMP.

I use Levels filter tool for that in Krita. Already non-destructive.

I use both. GIMP is still good
