How does Krita compare to Photoshop? I use Photoshop Elements 15, which does for me almost all I need. If you go to Expert mode, it's almost like Photoshop CS2 or CS4, except for the bad UI, and I'm sure there are features in CS4 that are missing but that I don't use.

If Krita can replace Photoshop for the most part, it's a good alternative on Linux.

Krita is centered around digital illustration and painting. It can't really compete with Photoshop's advanced computer vision features like healing brush, quick selection tool and 3d panorama editing. But if you just need to do some color correction and light airbrushing, it can be used instead of Photoshop.

Also, if you can put up with the UI for the plugin, the G'MIC filters contain some cool stuff. You can do frequency separation and content aware fill.
