So -- what is the story about Krita? What can make Krita compelling to the<br>
artist? I think it makes sense to individually identify why we are personally<br>
working on Krita and what we want to get out of it in the first place, and to<br>
use that to develop a vision for Krita that we can work towards.<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm neither an artist nor a photographer, so not creating masterpieces with Krita ;)<br>Actually I started working on Krita, because I wanted to work on a cool software project.<br>
</div></div><br>I think the mix of painting, photo and vector functionality makes Krita unique. We have all different uses and backgrounds, which merge into one app. The challenge is to combine everything into compelling package. I like how Kritas flexibility allows to have all this in the same app.<br>
<br>I think the main problems preventing Krita from breakthrough are performance and stability. I read many reviews and user comments and often Krita is praised for the features but unusable as it's too slow or crashing often. We have a Canon EOS 300D at home, which we got aroud the time when I started working on Krita. It takes comparatively small images by todays standards (newer model have more than twice the resolution), still running filter takes far too long.<br>
