So, now that these features are in Krita, does this make Krita better at photo editing than GIMP?Īlthough it is quite a breakthrough that Krita was able to introduce all these advanced features before GIMP could achieve the same feat, the program still has some hindrances when it comes to certain common photo editing tasks.

These are all features GIMP users have been waiting on for a long time. The Krita website says the software is made for “concept art, texture and matte painters, illustrations and comics.” However, Krita has also managed to incorporate some more advanced photo editing features like adjustment layers, CMYK support, multi-layer selection, and the ability to open RAW images.

Over the last several years, Krita has cemented its place in the free software world by creating a feature-rich digital painting platform that’s geared towards artists.
