Oh and I almost forgot the possibility for a rather non-linear workflow. Filter layers, layer groups and a lot of the layer management features are great.<br><br>As VFX artists and TDs the more we can do non-linearly the happier we are. The hard thing about what we do isn't creating cool 3D things, it's implementing the Director's changes over and over again. For this we need to 'bake' as little as possible of what we do. Hence the popular workflows of packages like Nuke and Houdini and why packages like 3dsMax and After Effects aren't really used in large studios. <br>

The most successful aspect of it is that it seemed to be able to deal with pretty large images at high bit depth natively. The next thing was the familiar UI. People in my industry feel at home with QT as most of our vendors use it. Also Krita has a photoshop-esque design that made everyone feel comfortable. But it was the brush engine got the biggest wows. <br>
<br>Of course it was merely a preliminary demo to see if artists were willing to put a bit of a 'bump' in their workflow (by using Krita instead of photoshop) for the greater good. Most were and by next week I have to have a 64bit version installed in our package manager. {Gulp}<br>
<br>The best thing about it was that even artists with a windows machine and potatoshop installed in addition to their Linux box showed a definite interest in testing Krita. I was expecting to only win over the poor sods who only have access to Gimp, but it seemed to win over a lot more people than I expected. <br>
<br>Photoshop has a lot of bells and whistles that we don't need in VFX, if Krita focuses on performance and scalability, it will take photoshop's cake in VFX quite easily I believe. <br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Last Friday I ran a Krita demo at Digital Domain London which went amazingly well. <br>The feedback
from the artists was along the lines of: "Wow. I didn't realise it was
going to be THAT good". <br></blockquote></div><div><br>What feature was that? What were the favorites?</div></div><br>
