About Krita
Krita focuses on illustration, comics and digital painting. It includes brush engines, layer tools, stabilizers and simple frame-by-frame animation. The website build is free; store editions help fund development. It needs more memory and graphics support than a basic image viewer.
If your main task is retouching photographs rather than drawing, compare Krita with GIMP. Its image-editing workflow offers another way to work with layers, selections and masks.
