Using Linux for Photography, where we stand (Linux Photography)
The Linux Photography weblog has posted a
lengthy summary of the state of the art for basic Linux-based
photographic tools. "Linux definitely needs a credible high quality
photo retouching program. Cinepaint has a Ferrari engine inside an old 2CV,
while Gimp has the 2CV engine inside a Ferrari. Krita is taking more the
direction of a high flying painting program than a photo editor. So this
piece is badly needed although being worked on with Cinepaint's next
generation (Glasgow) and the integration of GEGL in Gimp.'

Using Linux for Photography, where we stand (Linux Photography) Posted Aug 21, 2008 18:39 UTC (Thu) by boudewijn (subscriber, #14185) [Link] Well, actually, I think Krita 2.0 will be more than likely to satisfy most his photography needs. I only wish I'd seen bug reports from the crashes he reports...
Using Linux for Photography, where we stand (Linux Photography) Posted Aug 22, 2008 8:44 UTC (Fri) by niner (subscriber, #26151) [Link] Well, I hope Krita 2.0 will bring basic features like preview for JPEG compression when saving and color reduction to a palette for smaller PNGs. If it weren't for these two, I'd be already happily using Krita instead of the Gimp.
Using Linux for Photography, where we stand (Linux Photography) Posted Aug 22, 2008 12:12 UTC (Fri) by robert_s (guest, #42402) [Link] I already use krita 1.6 for my photo work. The trick is to export as an 8bit PNG and then use the gimp to do the final conversion. Takes no time. (you're using indexed PNGs for photography?)
