I'm missing the ability to adding shadows, and to change each color individually in HSL, as in the Secondary color tool in PS. Gimp 3 manages that stuff better. Not 100%, but it works fine enough for my needs. I have more trouble with Krita on these features. So for me, Krita is not the answer to edit my traditional painting scans.

I've installed that, doesn't really make a difference. I'm not interested in skin deep changes, but in how the program works mostly internally.

I think you're better off just learning the Krita hotkeys and such. Otherwise, what are you going to do if you have to use it on a friend's computer or library something? You'll be totally lost.

It's not hard to relearn keyboard shortcuts. I'm speaking as a user of Photoshop for 20 years who switched to GIMP (as an example) a year ago and had to learn all the differences. If you use crutches right at the start you'll, never learn to walk.

I draw in Krita and I am always using a tablet. The tablet has keys on it which can be bound to any key or key combination. I don't feel the need to use the menu ever.

The tool bar can be and shall be customised to my own habit, therefore plugins to make it exactly like Photoshop also makes no sense to me.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
