Photographic features and other non-paint features)

Hi,
Hi,

I don't think so. But these filters might be useful for creating images for web pages etc. If you only want to remove them to reduce the maintenance burden, I might be able to help. I wanted to do some work on Krita again, anyway (but I won't have a lot of time).

As far as I can remember, the results from WetDreams looked even better then what one can do with Corel Painter (well, I played 10 minutes with it, so I don't really know what's possible with Corel Painter).

There is also an interesting thesis on how to simulate watercolor on the GPU:

Unfortunately there are not many technical details in the thesis and I could neither find the application nor source code nor the contact information of the author.
