Those are fair points I did not consider but, Irfanview does everything I need for post pro and is simple to use.

That is nice, but Krita is meant for completelly different things.

Krita is very cool but ask a big learning curve!

I don't agree on that.

The only thing different is how the brush system works, everything else is pretty clear and similar to most layerbased image editing software.

@JQL It's not a problem to paint in some 15-stop sun in photoshop either.
I've noticed Krita lags heavily while painting in 32-bit file comparing to PS. Could you please show me where the Kritas clone\stamp tool is hiding?

I'm pretty sure photoshop does it nicelly and it should be better than Krita too. But the fact is that Krita is able to do it and I find that useful.

For the clone tool you can either choose the clone preset wich you can find on the "Brush Presets" Toolbars or you can modify any of the other brushes to make it clone.

Also you can choose between clone and heal, but I don't believe you have a perspective clone.

What you can do for a perspective clone is apply a transformation mask into a layer and clone into that layer, probably a difficult workaround, probably a cool one, I haven't tried it actually...

Here are two gifs:

About the lagging have you got OpenGL active in Settings > Configure Krita... > Display?

Amazing, many thanks for comprehensive reply. I'll check display settings tomorrow.

Thank you for the info. I will try it again, as GIMP development is really slow.

It is about two weeks that I have discovered this wonderful software. It was somehow strange and unfriendly at first, but after seeing some tutorials on youtube, I can paint with it and even made my RGBA brush, which mimics real-life oil painting brushes.... This is absolutely crazy!
I am using Kritat 4

I just installed Corel Painter (essential V 7) and compared both apps. I think each one has its own cons/pros. But to me, Krita is handier...

Here is what I did using SketcUp+Blender 3D + Krita:

This is a sketch I did using drawing brushes and watercolor brushes of Krita... that is really amazing.

What is wrong pilou?

I think @pilou means 'cool' [in a good way!]

majid

Cool, that it is cool
Here is another test using watercolor brushes.
I think they need more attention, i.e. there is no gravity effect, that in real watercolor makes some amazing tesultd. There is no wetness time-leg.Also, I could not find a watercolor mop brush yet.
