When we say “photoshop alternative,” we don’t strictly mean an 
alternative tool to help you manage photos, color correct them, resize 
them, and get them ready to share. Sure, you could probably do those 
things with Krita, but the tool is really designed for artists looking 
for a painting application to create original digital art, web and print 
comics, concept art, and more. The app has all of the usual features you 
might expect from a digital art tool, including layers and layer 
management, masks and selections, transform tools, a full color palette, 
and even some perks like drawing assistants, a resource manager, a 
friendly interface, and more.

Krita can even support, open, and edit Photoshop’s own PSD files, so you 
can give it a try if you’re thinking about making the switch without 
worrying that you won’t be able to work on the projects you already 
have. Plus, since it’s free, you can give it a try and see if it meets 
your needs first. Unlike many similar apps, the interface is familiar, 
and the learning curve not as steep. Check it out at the link below.
