"I was recently browsing through various Linux news
sites and bumped into this article, a taste of a comic done in
Krita, the KDE painting and image editor application, which is part
of the KOffice suite. Now I rarely use image editors, and I'm
totally untalented at it, but when I do, I use GIMP for basic
cropping, coloring or other simple stuff. Anyway, I remembered I
only tried Krita once, in KDE 3, and I was a little dissatisfied
with it (can't remember exactly why), so at the time I decided to
stay with GIMP. This is why this article brought Krita again in my
attention, so I decided to give it a spin and see how it looks
like.
"In this overview I'm going to talk about Krita 2.2.2, which
comes included in the Ubuntu 10.10 Beta repositories. Being a
full-fledged image editor, Krita comes with many tools and features
needed by an image manipulation program, and to list a few."
