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...

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.

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?)
