<br>Well, may i start?<br><br>I'm a photographer. So i need a tool that can replace a photoshop on linux for preparing my photos for print. Why don't i use Gimp? There are several reasons:<br><br>1) [main reason] I hate it's user interface. I hate these loads of windows.<br>
<br>2) Absence of an ability to work with several colorspaces (fast Lab<->Rgb switch).<br>3) Absence of a color profiling feature. <br>4) Absence of a Color Proofing feature<br><br>Last time i started Gimp i was lacking last three features (it was quite long ago). That's why i dropped it.<br>
<br><br>What do i need from Krita (or any other editor to be able to set up a usual photo workflow):<br><br>1) Ability to work with Lab, RGB, CMYK. It would be curious to have a HSV colorspace as it can be efficiently used in Curves tool.<br>
2) "Curves" tool. This is my main working tool. [MAIN]<br>3) Ability to do a Color Profiling<br>4) Ability to do a Color Proofing [MAIN]<br>5) Ability to blend channels like PS's "Apply Image" [MAIN]<br>
6) Ability to work with channels separately [MAIN]<br><br>What i like in Krita:<br>1) Variety of colorspaces<br>2) I like Qt more than Gtk<br><br>What i don't like in Krita:<br>1) Absence of MDI interface. It's quite difficult to work with several pictures at once<br>
2) FILTERS DIALOG(!) with thumbnails that was introduced in 2.0. I think, if i press Filter->Curves menu, i mean that i want to see Curves configuration window only, NOT these loads of thumbnails and other filter's stuff.<br>
