Pop-up Palette - Quickly pick your color and brush by right-clicking on the canvas. There is even a dedicated Dynamic Brush tool where you can add drag and mass. Krita includes 3 different ways to smooth and stabilize your brush strokes. Brush Stabilizers - Have a shaky hand? Add a stabilizer to your brush to smoothen it out. 
You can also create your own shortcuts for commonly used tools. Once you have your setup, you can save it as your own workspace. The dockers and panels can be moved and customized for your specific workflow.
User Interface - An intuitive user interface that stays out of your way. It offers many common and innovative features to help the amateur and professional alike. Krita has been in development for over 10 years and has had an explosion in growth recently. Now, the big question is "should you switch to Krita?" If you are on a position where you can switch from Photoshop (or any other paid painting application) to an alternative, you should definitely take Krita for a spin and see if it fits your needs.Īfter all, the app is free so you have nothing to lose.Krita is a free, Open-Source painting tool designed for concept artists, illustrators, matte and texture artists, and the VFX industry. For example, Unity supports Photoshop files just fine. Krita can also save your projects as Photoshop files, which is pretty much a must, since most applications will support Photoshop files, but not many (if any) will support Krita files. It even supports some layer styles, which is a good thing. If you were to switch from Photoshop to Krita, the first thing you'd need to know is whether Krita can open your Photoshop files, and it can. 
One thing to notice is this application doesn't include as many filters as Photoshop, so it may feel limiting in this aspect. Filters include color adjustments (brightness, contrast, saturation, levels, HSV), blurs (regular blur, gaussian, lens, and motion blur), artistic (like oil painting, posterize), edge detection, emboss, and others. Krita also offers a wide variety of filters that can be applied to layers or images. However, by the time of writing this, I still haven't figured out if the transparency mask can use a copied image (meaning, copying an image to the clipboard and pasting it as a mask instead of a layer), something I do a lot in Photoshop. Another feature some would use a lot (me included) is the ability to add transparency masks to layers.
