Instead, I think Krita has a good chance of moving into photo editing with enough funding.
As someone who doesn’t really do photo editing, one thing I never quite understood is what’s missing for that to be viable right now.
For reference, the one time I had to edit a photo a few years ago, I just used Krita to move/remove a few objects and do some basic color grading. It didn’t feel like there was anything missing.
Granted, I never used software like Photoshop either.
I see. So it’s less about editing the pictures themself, and more about what they’ll be used for.
And yeah, Krita is main image editing and drawing tool as well, helped out by Inkscape for vector graphics and Aseprite for pixel art.
