> Q-Can we toggle the LUT display?
> A- Yes in the preferences. (I put in a request on this list today to make

>
> Q- Are there any automatic HDRI panorama creation tools
> A- No, there are other applications for this. (However the Krita project
> might be able to leverage other open source projects to implement something
> like this. http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ )

> Q- Does Krita have a scripting language, command line interface or python
> api?
> A- I replied that I was not sure. I knew Krita had a scripting feature in
> previous version but I cannot find it in 2.4. Actions are supported so that
> can replace (partly) this function. I was not sure about any sort of python
> api or anything like this. So I replied that I was going to ask you guys.
>
> Q- Does Krita support 3rd party filter/plugin formats?
> A- I don't know. I will ask the team what kind of filter format Krita
> supports.
>
> Q- Does Krita do 3D painting?
> A- No. Krita is not made to replace Mari. It is mainly a photoshop
> replacement on Linux to fill the '2D painting' gap our industry has been
> suffering from for years.
>
> Q- Is there an automatic texture tiling tool similar to gimp's texturize<http://gimp-texturize.sourceforge.net/>
> ?
> A- Not that I know of, I will ask the Krita team.
>
> Q- Can Krita import frame sequences?
> A- Not right now. It could be an interesting Option to add. I will talk to
> the team about it.
>
> All of our Artists and TDs were very impressed. They would like to say a
> big thank you to the Krita team for moving in to this territory and have
> pledged to help you trouble-shoot, improve and push Krita forward with
> useful feedback and bug reports, all of which will be going through myself.
