Not to detract from raincole's point, and this is not relevant at all to their problem, but just a general reminder that in many ways Krita is not a direct competitor to Photoshop unless you're using Photoshop as a digital painting tool -- and if you are, I would argue that Krita is arguably a better product in some ways.

I think that Photoshop is an image manipulator first and foremost, and Krita is a tool for drawing/painting, maybe doing some light traditional animation although even that is not it's primary focus.

I think that CSP, Procreate, etc... are more direct competitors to Krita. Photoshop is a competitor to Gimp.

Again, does not change anything about raincole's comment, and I don't think that raincole was suggesting that they were direct competitors. It's just that whenever Photosohp and Krita get mentioned in the same sentence I feel like the assumption from many readers is that they're trying to do the same things, and I would personally say that I think they're separate categories of applications. There are things that Photosohp does that Krita doesn't want to do and will probably never support, because it's a painting app, not an image manipulation app.
