Sad to see countless petitions, begging and pleading to bring adobe and other big creative apps to linux, instead of helping existing FOSS apps

Getting mixed feelings when stumbling upon my illustration copied and painted on a wall in local railway station. #mahalaxmi #dobhighat #mumbai

@cinebox to clarify, I am not saying you personaly should not use photoshop, what I am saying is you shouldn't make it so that to contribute one needs to use photoshop. May be you can use open formats to keep the source files.

@cinebox even if it is the only software that serves your need, it won't change the fact that to contribute to your project one needs a photoshop license.

@cinebox the code in your project may be opensource, you may also have given the psd files too. But to change the content of those PSD files (depending on what the contributor wants to change) the contributor needs to purchase photoshop and use proprietary software. In a way you are placing a restriction for people who don't want to buy photoshop. it means to contribute to your project one has to purchase proprietary software.

@Whidou For digital painting Krita is really great. Although gimp has been adding some painting related features now, but krita has more feature targeted towards painting. Also the UI is not similar so it might take some time to migrate

@Whidou Krita and GIMP are different programs targeting different use case, Krita is designed for digital painting, and GIMP for general image manipulation. there are overlaps in functionality and features but they are not alternative to each other, they compliment each other

thanks @klaatu for recommending the article to opensource.com
