[MacTUG] Krita Is a Fast, Flexible, and Free Photoshop Alternative Built by Artists

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

That looks good but the downside is that it really is not the “photoshop alternative” that most of us want as it is a nice painting program vs tailored for image editing. I will have a look at it anyhow

    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.
