I’ve never heard of Krita before, and now twice in one day. Please tell me why?
Krita is cool software. It is in use here with artist David Revoy : https://www.davidrevoy.com/
That’s because of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.
It’s unfortunate how many replys are missing the good part of this and rather respond with criticism and negativity. We can do better than that folks. This is a good thing!
I’m surprised that open source technology isn’t used at American universities. My local university only has proprietary software which I guess makes sense because of industry standards, but the reality is learning on open source will be more beneficial in the long run.
Why show young bright minds free options when you can get more money from them for the rest of their lives with subscription software
I’m not. Universities aren’t place of open or free learning. They’re deeply invested in capitalism and benefit greatly from intellectual property laws. In fact, most universities function largely as state subsidized pipelines that take people without a viable, real world skill set and turn them into people who still don’t have a viable real world skill set, but who do have a piece of paper telling corporations that they’re able and willing to put up with complete bullshit, general mistreatment, and dull, grueling labor for years without incident. Which is good enough for your typical middle-class wage slave and whatever they might want to do.
And to think that’s what my fucking taxes are paying for. Anticompetitive lock in baked into a churn and burn the proletariat pie
Most proprietary companies will give very steep discounts or even free licenses to schools and universities. If you introduce an entire generation of students to your software, students will gravitate toward what they’re familiar with when they enter the “real world”.
Gimp is better suited for this role
Krita is a art focused program
Gen-Z Indian here. It’s for school kids, and they’re going to be drawing gibberish anyway. Attendance is how they grade. Back then, we used to play around with Paint on Windows XP. Good thing they’re getting exposure to open-source early.
Take 2 people that have not used gimp or krita. Ask them to daw a circle, and see which software they are able to do it in.
Gimp is a ux nightmare (or at least it used to be i haven’t used ot in years) I will try gimp 3 when it comes out in 2037
GIMP 3.0 will be released this year, as far as I remember. (I already using the final test version for 3.0).
Gimp hasn’t changed a ton in the last three years.
I’m just here for the blurted pictures
I use Krita as an image editor and I prefer it.
Gimp is an UI nightmare, I don’t recommend it to anyone. Krita can’t be worse.
Honestly i don’t see the problem, i’ve been using GIMp since around 2013 or 2015, i never had issues with the UI
As someone coming from Photoshop it’s really hard to get into Gimp with it missing the layer effects you’d expect, which you all have in Krita.
Krita is aimed for Digital Painting, not Photo Manipulation, Photi Manipulation it’s GIMP’s work.
I can finally tools in Krita!
That’s some good application choices right there
I read that in the most posh British accent possible.
Yes, dear.
More colorism? Wildly white people in an Indian textbook.
Our textbooks (in Ukraine) used to include stuff on both windows and linux (specifically, linux mint with cinnamon), and included a chapter on libreoffice/openoffice
Cool.
Open Source, in the USA at least, is a result of software developers not being protected to unionize under the NLRB.
Status, seniority, and respect are thus retrieved from the returns on self-employed slave labor.
As a software dev and open source contributor: stay the course, then! I’ll take open source software over a union 10 times out of 10. I get paid so well for what I do that it’s silly, and I love spending my time doing the stuff I like. I’ve been a union member in other fields, it’s not an experience I’d like to repeat.
I seriously doubt anybody is contributing to open source for status & seniority. Respect, maybe. The status & seniority people become managers; as the old joke goes, that’s the best way to get them out of the workforce.
I will never get over people using software as a countable noun. You mean a software program or a software application, not
a software“They downvoted him because he spoke the truth.”
One fish, two fish. Red fish, blue fish.
One software, two softwares. One literature, two literatures. One Lego, two Legos. One butter, two butters. One snow, two snows.
Very strange presentation of Krita, but I’ll take it. The overview of what you’ll be able to do doesn’t actually list anything you can do, and the comic recommends using it to deblur photographs, which is definitely not something I would recommend Krita for.
Or indeed something that is really possible with anything. If it’s blurry it’s broken. Learn your camera settings and take another.
There’s some surprisingly sci-fi stuff that’s possible with image deconvolution. Not exactly practical, but it is possible to recover some information from a blurry photo.
Yeah, I’ll wager computer generated blur is easier to undo than real physics generated blur.
There was that Canadian a few years ago who used a swirly blur on a picture of him raping kids, and the German police reversed it and had him locked up.
I mean, you’re not wrong - but it’s a technique used every day for super-resolution microscopy.
Oh hey, I had some good results with Krita when I was still making digital art way back when. It’s been like a decade. I should get myself a new tablet.
That is some q u a l i t y textbook right there.
