"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Krita is a painting and sketching tool and lacks some photo editing capabilities that GIMP has. PhotoCraft is vibe coded (In itself not a bad thing, but many features are incomplete, such as PSD compatibility), I haven't tested the other ones yet. MiniPaint looks fun, but I'll need to test it out.
Yes, Krita is in first line an painting tool (profesional level), but also has photo editing and even animation capabilities, enough for most tasks, even RAW format, the flaw of Gimp. I use both, Krita and Gimp are good complementary apps. For vector graphics I've enough with Libre Office. And yes, MiniPaint has a misleading name, it's a very powerfull editor, nothing Mini. Well, it isn't PS, but way enough for almost all editing tasks, it's blazing fast (Html5) and ideal for editing something on the go while browsing.
Thanks for the tips, will try them out :)
