Hello,
I came across PhotoFlow before - it's an interesting project. Are you still
using VIPS library for handling images? What's your experience? VIPS is
officially designed for off-line processing. Are you able to get good
performance for real time rendering?
Officially krita is targeted towards graphics artists, but I use it for
editing photographs myself. I find krita a lot more flexible than gimp as a
photo editor (with adjustment layers and better color handling).
My workflow, and I think it's the most often used by photographers, is to
use darktable to quickly select best photographs and adjust
brightness/color/contrast (for which you do need to work in full bit depth
and non-destructively).The few images that need further work I save as tiff
in darkroom and open in krita, where I can blend multiple images, and do
fancy edits requiring multiple layers.
The main disadvantage of this workflow is having to switch between two
interfaces and two very different ways of doing adjustments. However, the
advantage of having two tools well suited for each task (darktable as a
database for photos and raw editor, and krita as a sophisticated layer
editor) overcomes it.
Cheers,
Eugene

Dear Krita experts,<br>
<br>
this is my first post here, so let me introduce myself: I am the developer of an Open \
Source RAW and raster image processing program called PhotoFlow (<a \
href="https://github.com/aferrero2707/PhotoFlow" rel="noreferrer" \
target="_blank">https://github.com/<wbr>aferrero2707/PhotoFlow</a> <<a \
href="https://github.com/aferrero2707/PhotoFlow" rel="noreferrer" \
target="_blank">https://github.com/<wbr>aferrero2707/PhotoFlow</a>>).<br> It can \
develop RAW images with a quality and flexibility comparable with other Open Source \
tools like RawTherapee and Darktable.<br> However PhotoFlow, unlike other RAW \
processing tools, is based on non-destructive adjustment layers.<br> <br>
Recently I have been developing a plug-in for the GIMP editor. The plug-in allows \
GIMP to open RAW images by delegating the RAW processing to the PhotoFlow \
executable.<br> It also allows to use PhotoFlow as a filter plug-in, for \
non-destructive editing of the image data from existing GIMP layers.<br> <br>
PhotoFlow, as well as the GIMP plug-in, are available for Linux, OSX and Windows.<br>
The current plug-in code can be found here: <a \
href="https://github.com/aferrero2707/PhFGimp" rel="noreferrer" \
target="_blank">https://github.com/<wbr>aferrero2707/PhFGimp</a><br> <br>
<br>
Would there be any interest for a similar functionality in Krita? If yes, I'm ready \
to collaborate in porting the plug-in code to Krita, although I will surely need lots \
of assistance as I am not familiar at all with the Krita framework…<br> <br>
<br>
With my best regards.<br>
