"Great and underrated app"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Krita?

The best thing about Krita, in my opinion, after having used it for several years, is the hidden potential of this application. That is to say, at first, it is more than likely that your designs will be bad, but once you have learned how to handle the application, you will be surprised by the results, so my overall experience is positive.

The application is stable and offers various tools for creating sketches, logos, or anything you might need. A positive aspect is that it has no licensing cost, which surprised me at first because it gave me the impression of using a very professional tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

A negative aspect of Krita is the somewhat outdated graphical interface; in future versions, it should correct and improve this aspect.

Although the application has worked very well and I am very happy with it, the support for my graphics tablet gave me some problems due to the drivers. I don't know if it's a problem with Krita or Linux, but I solved it thanks to Krita's technical support. So I will write it here, after the help they offered me, everything works perfectly for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Krita:

I recommend using Krita if you are a designer, professional or not, and you are looking for a powerful application capable of creating any type of image, in addition to the fact that Krita is a free application, unlike many alternatives in this field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Krita solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am mainly using Krita for sketch design and web logos, the result is very positive and I am very happy with the application, especially because once you learn to use it, your efficiency and speed increase considerably. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great, but underrated application"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Krita?

In my opinion, the best thing about Krita after using it for several years is the hidden potential of this application. That is, at the beginning, it is more than likely that your designs will be poor, but once you have learned how to handle the application, you will be surprised by the results, so my experience is generally positive.

The application is stable. There are various tools for creating sketches, logos, or anything you need. A positive aspect is that it has no licensing costs, which initially surprised me because it gave me the impression of using a very professional tool (except perhaps for the somewhat outdated user interface).

What do you dislike about Krita?

A negative aspect of Krita is the somewhat outdated graphical interface, which should be corrected and improved in future versions.

Although the application worked very well and I am very satisfied with it, the support for my graphics tablet caused me some problems due to the drivers.

"Good software for light edition"

5/5

What do you like best about Krita?

What do you dislike about Krita?

For a free program this over-delivers, I can't really complain of anything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Krita:

Unless you are a professional graphic designer there is a good chance this program has everything you need for image edition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Like photoshop but easier and faster to use "

5/5

What do you like best about Krita?

A lot more powerful than paint but as easy to use and for my needs as powerful as photoshop but a lot easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

It's not that popular, it's a fantastic software but I only found it after a colleague recommended this to me after I complained that Photoshop and GIMP were unnecessarily hard for what I need. Needs a lot more visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A powerful design software to draw like a professional"

5/5

What do you like best about Krita?

I have searched and tried several alternatives to Photoshop, without one of them completely convincing me, until I met Krita. This program was already available for some time to install on Windows computers, and I must admit that it is the most complete I have found so far.

It is ideal to create raster drawings thanks to the large number of brushes and options to smooth the layout, which will make drawing with a drawing tablet a pleasure. And this is one aspect that far surpasses Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

Although it is considered to be a replacement for Photoshop, it lacks some keyboard shortcuts and options that we are very used to using in it. For example, some layer options that you would think are universal in this kind of software solutions are not available. But the good thing is that you can export your creations in PSD format and continue in Photoshop or other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Krita:

If you are looking for a free alternative to Photoshop and with many and more powerful options to draw and make the most of your Wacom tablet. Krita will exceed your expectations for its versatility and surprising options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Krita solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a program for drawing, illustrating and sketching, it is far superior to Photoshop for its extensive variety of brushes.

On the other hand, being free as it is, you do not need to worry about your budget to use it.

In addition, it is compatible with all design programs, so you can export your creations and continue working on the platform that your clients require. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Create art with Krita"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Krita?

Krita is a fork of Gimpe, designed to create sketches, paintings, or artistic logos for companies or web design, as we use it in the company.

The application is, of course, completely free and open source in addition to being multi-platform (Windows, Linux, and Mac). Krita is mainly used for creating logos and backgrounds on the websites created by our team.

About Krita:

- The application is very stable in its latest versions

- A variety of documentation on how to accomplish anything possible with Krita on the internet

- The application supports a variety of formats like xcf, psd, or png

- Large number of brushes to choose from and use in your designs

- The application loads very quickly. Unlike other applications of the same type, Krita is very lightweight and does not consume much CPU or RAM Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

The user interface of the application is somewhat outdated, should be updated a bit, and add more descriptive icons. You can also add some scripts by default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Krita:

If you want to design with artistic and professional finishes, choose Krita and you will not be disappointed. Krita is also free and has a large community behind it. Krita is very lightweight and does not consume much RAM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Krita a powerful alternative to photoshop"

4/5

What do you like best about Krita?

2 years ago I made Krita my professional image editor by default, leaving aside other options that cost a lot of money on licenses. After having learned to handle krita, the results of my work are the same as with the previous software I used but without the extra cost.

I liked Krita that has a great facility to recognize the last generation graphic tablets, working without configuring anything.

Technically it is a software very similar to Gimp (it is a fork) so it inherits many features and a lot of good things (and some bad that I will comment later)

The characteristics that make Krita a great option:

- Stable software

- Great finishes in your works

- No licenses or costs

- Support for last generation graphic cards

- Application that works in Windows and Linux (Both I have tried and they are the same)

- Limited consumption of CPU and RAM resources

- Support for plugins (inherited from GIMP)

- Many brushes and tools for drawing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

Although in general I love Krita I have seen some things that could be improved in the future, from my point of view.

What is not so good about Krita:

- The graphical interface looks old, it would be fantastic a krita that is visually beautiful

- I have had problems loading some type of file (it is solved exporting to another format) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Krita:

I really consider you using Krita if you are looking for a powerful tool that does not carry additional licensing costs. People tend to think that because software is free, it will be worse, but I assure you that this is not the case, Krita is a very professional software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Krita solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed an application that was powerful for the creation of images and that was open source and free, because the cost of licensing the alternatives was too high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Krita, An awesome alternative"

4/5

What do you like best about Krita?

I was using Krita in my company for a long time and it seemed like a very competent drawing tool to be completely free.

The results of all my designs with krita are very good and artistic because once you have learned to handle krita completely it is an incrible tool.Technically the software is very stable, I have never lost a job because of krita, its

interface although it is not its strong point, it is similar to GIMP.

- Works in the three main operating systems (Windows, Linux , MAC)

- Powerful free tool, our logos look great!

- Open source with great support community

- Very fast loading large templates (Especially if you install it in an SSD) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

What I do not like about Krita or I think they should improve in later versions:

- The interface should be improved, it looks too old

- The icons of the drawing tools should be more descriptive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Krita:

I recommend that you use Krita if you need a powerful alternative to other design or payment applications, with Krita you do not have to pay any license. Also i recommend that you read the documentation if you have doubts about how to use Krita and learn the shortcuts to design much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Krita solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Krita we create our web designs, especially business logos with very good results. Also thanks to Krita we do not pay for licenses because it's free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
