Typically when I’m working with photos, I’m doing graphic design type work. I’ve been using GIMP for this. GIMP is meant for raster graphics editing.
You could also use Inkscape for vector graphics, or Krita for more digital painting type work. But I know all these tools are very powerful and overlap on some use cases.
Do you use any AI-type tools? I use a image upscaler called Upscayl. It works really well and works entirely locally.
Do you know of any tools that can remove backgrounds? This would help with help with the type of graphic design I do.
What other tools do you like to use as it pertains to images?
Krita, I use it for everything, I hate gimp, it feels so bad
I second Krita. I’ve used gimp for years but recently tried Krita and now I rarely open gimp anymore on purpose.
In general I feel like its probably KDE’s best software package outside of its DE. Know of any other super good KDE apps?
Okular is pretty great, I can’t find a package that does good annotation of PDFs built on GTK.
Krita looks more like a drawing and animation solution, whereas GIMP is an editing / manipulation solution. Or can Krita be used as an editor, too? I’m going to download later and give it a shot, but just wanted your opinion so I have better expectations.
i use it as an editor even though thats not really its use case. i just feel like gimp is far too clunky, it just feels “off” to me in comparison to photoshop
That makes sense. Thanks for the input!
