> What do you want to do in GIMP that Krita can't do with a better UI?

Adjust levels in photos.



Do you mean with the levels filter that Krita has, with the curves filter that Krita has, with the color balance filer that Krita has, with the slope, offset, power filter that Krita has, or with the hue/saturation/luma or red chroma/blue chroma/luma adjustment filter that Krita has?[1]

They are all available as non-destructive filter layers, by the way, and Krita users had access to this way before GIMP 3.0 was released with non-destructive filters.

Honestly, I did not know that these existed in Krita (when I used Krita, I did not find them).

However, I still stubbornly maintain that I answered the question sufficiently, which used the qualifier "with a better UI".

Taking a leaf out of my wife's book "Even when I'm wrong, I'm right!* :-)

(Yeah yeah, I know I was wrong)


Does Krita let you change those black n white icons to something with some colour?
