Photoshop is a competitor to Gimp.&lt;p&gt;Again, does not change anything about raincole&amp;#x27;s comment, and I don&amp;#x27;t think that raincole was suggesting that they were direct competitors. It&amp;#x27;s just that whenever Photosohp and Krita get mentioned in the same sentence I feel like the assumption from many readers is that they&amp;#x27;re trying to do the same things, and I would personally say that I think they&amp;#x27;re separate categories of software. There are things that Photosohp does that Krita doesn&amp;#x27;t want to do and will probably never support, because it&amp;#x27;s a painting app, not an image manipulation app.</text><parent_chain><item><author>raincole</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m migrating from Krita to Photoshop lately.&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#x27;t get me wrong, I love Krita.
