hellozee

Take an example you scaled down and 1000x1000px image to 100x100px and then scaled it up back to 1000x1000px. In the process you lost a lot of info on the image.

PS solves that by using Smart Objects, Krita by Transform Masks, GIMP? Nope

Not only Darktable but Darktable paired with digiKam, :)

Not completely, unfortunately, :(

No non destructive editing available is one of the biggest drawbacks

Can't speak for GIMP but Krita is growing exponentially, :)

Ohh my bad

You didn't get it right? Most of the customers who would switch are already using CC on Mac or Windows so why add the costs of maintenance and support for another platform.

Aside from that, their code base is somewhat quirky, which would definitely increase the cost of porting

Scribus?

I tried to make it as less click baity as I could, but can't resist, :P

You got to be judicious with limited resources, :)

Porting to linux isn't worth it. Cause most of the people who would switch are existing customers. And with the CC model it is never going to happen

Linux is the Kernel, muahahahaha

Krita started as an image editing tool, but now it is tool which you you would use for creating stuff from scratch, and not mainly for editing Photos or manipulating images, :D

I never said Krita is competing with Photoshop, I just compared them, take a look at the last rant :D

It can be but it would require me to learn about software architecture for that, for designing a proper API, which is a tough job for my stupid brain, XD

It shouldn't take more than an hour, of course you just need to change an entry. But I fear I have heard complaints of i3 not liking the plasma panels but that was under different compositors, should work fine under compton, :D

P.S: You can use i3 as your window manager in Plasma desktop without too much hassle. You just have to tell it to allow i3 to manage windows instead of KWin

Everything is possible cause it is Qt but you need time, :)

This indeed is just a fun project. Recreating it in Qt is a lot of unnecessary work, I would instead continue contributing to Krita[0], :)

Yeah, I do contribute to a cross platform app written in Qt in my free time, :) Do take a look here[0] sometime, :)
