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>

<br>5 years ago, there were a lot of gaps in the Gimp, and Krita seemed targeted to fill those gaps.<br><br>From my position on the outside, it really looks to me like the Gimp is gonna fill 'em itself before Krita 2 is stable enough to be used... The Gimp already has relatively decent colour space support, and it sounds like higher bit depth support is coming down the pipes. <br>
<br>Maybe it won't have quite as flexible a brush model as Krita --- but is that a sufficient differentiator?<br><br>I'd be curious as to what people think the 'mission statement' for Krita ought to be.<br>
<br>Or maybe that was already established and I missed it in my skim of the thread..<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Just because Gimp has implemented some of the features we have have too that doesn't we can't do photo manipulation.<br>
Krita has many differences from Gimp, like colorspaces (painterly comes in mind), brush engines, vector integration with the Karbon and the rest of KOffice.<br><br>In the end we should still develop the application that we want and other apps should be inspiration not limitation.<br>
