Love using it with the self-hosted Stable Diffusion plugin. Not the most uptodate model but it's a good all-in-one open source solution.

Are you talking about this? https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-diffusion

I tried using that but didn't have much luck. That is, I could get it to generate whole images, but none of the other tools seemed to work. I'll have to take another crack at it some time, because that looks like a workflow that I would really enjoy.

Yes exactly.

There are some written guides now but I actually just learned from the original demonstration videos. Copied what happened there and started tinkering around

Most of the times if something didn't work for me that was mostly because my lack of knowledge about Krita

Thanks. That's probably what I should do next time around: Follow the video exactly and confirm it works before I start tinkering. I wanted to use my choice of model and I think I diverged from the beaten path enough that it caused problems.

Congratulations, glad it exists. I should start using that on my Slackware System instead of gimp.

Why, I have heard unsubstantiated rumors over the years that gtk will eventually be merged with gnomelib. As someone who avoids GNOME3 that would be the final straw for me and gimp.

gimp is an adobe photoshop replacement.

krita is an adobe illustrator replacement, something else entirely.

Krita is not a vector graphics editor so it is not an Adobe Illustrator replacement.

Thank you. Came here to ask how does it compare to Affinity Designer, or Sketch. I guess it does not compare at all.

Inkscape is vector

Krita is drawing

throw Blender, Paint.net, Scribus, Darktable on the list.

Photopea is pretty remarkable as well.

> We think that Clip Studio is much more of a real competitor

I hope they manage to convert some of the clip studio userbase.

Clip studio has done a "perpetual license" rug pull before. Now it is subscription-based.

Scummy.
