I think there is no reason for differentiation. Many programs looks like
each other. Krita is a raster image manipulation software, very nice,
confortable, with a lot of options. I'm happy of get a QT program so
promising like Krita. For me, Gimp is great, but lucks in high and
proffesional image editing. The interface is unconfortable, confusing. Gimp
is like the defunct "image ready" graphics for web. It's image scaling is
awfull, lot of pluggins and effects works,but not efficiently. For me is a
mess (and is like a toy may be).
Think Krita must be a raster image program well designed, and proffesional
for real work, in pre-press, in web, in post-production and in photography
retouching, not forgetting than amazing brush tools for matte paiting
artists :)

&quot;I didn&#39;t see a lot of direct answers \
to this question though --- what is Krita&#39;s reason for being? What will \
differentiate it from things like Gimp or MyPaint. 5 years ago, there were a \
lot of gaps in the Gimp, and Krita seemed targeted to fill those \
gaps.&quot; I think there is no reason for \
differentiation. Many programs looks like each other. Krita is a raster image \
manipulation software, very nice, confortable, with a lot of options. I&#39;m happy \
of get a QT program so promising like Krita. For me, Gimp is great, but lucks in high \
and proffesional image editing. The interface is unconfortable, confusing. Gimp is \
like the defunct &quot;image ready&quot; graphics for web. It&#39;s image scaling is \
awfull, lot of pluggins and effects works,but not efficiently. For me is a mess (and \
is like a toy may be).
