There is a gray area, but to me the difference is pretty clear: when I look at
tutorials in Photoshop Creative that create a "cezanne" by smudge/cloning a
photo of a bowl of fruit, then I know that that is not what Krita is for.
Taking a portrait photo, applying a filter and then touching up the edges to
get a "painted" portrait is not what Krita is for. If there is more hand work
involved, we get into a gray area. Assembling a base layer by combining bits
of various photographs, applying a filter to sort of unifying them and using
that as a base for painting a landscape or cityscape -- that is matte painting
and that is what Krita definitely _is_ for.

That definitely isn't part of our vision :-)
