In default repos the version is too low for them in Jaunty.

David uses Mint too and probably 64bit version, but we have wait a bit longer for new 64bit version of Mint, their priority is always 32bit.

Big THX for David for helping OS projects and their community :D

I wish luck and great fun :)

But there are many common features. And with the plugin system, it would be perfectly possible to have different modes, depending on the task you want to accomplish.

That said, I personally like to take a lot of pictures (even if I am not a fan of too much retouching, better take time to take a good picture than to clone out part of it), so I am still going to keep developing features related to photography, and of course if you have wishes, filling wish report to <a href="http://bugs.kde.org" rel="nofollow">KDE's bugzilla</a> is a good idea. In the end, it is all about developers time, if we have developers interested in developing photography specific features, then those features will be added. But there are many common features, like a good clone tool, filters effects, etc...

I, and I'm sure, many others, were having great hopes to use Krita as an advanced photo-manipulation software, with its pro features such as 16bits, advanced channels separation, color profiles etc. And its interface that is much less confusing than the GIMP's one. So are we waiting in vain? Will Krita support for photographers limited to " Krita having a set of filters for image enhancement"?

One thing that would really improve krita (from a designer point of view) is a effect system similar to the one used in photoshop (in which effect can be applied and removed on the fly - instead of creating a different layer and giving the result to the user). The one implemented in krita is not as effective but looks promising.. I'm really looking forward to this project! Guys, you really rock :) I really hope Krita to be the next revolution in the graphic linux world..

Does this means that Krita is primarily painting application? I thought that focus is on both. I've tried Corel Painter and from that experience I think that combination of both is the best (image manipulation + digital paint). For painting, special effects, etc. Hopefully Krita will be faster than GIMP (GEGL is currently slow). “It is just that the focus of the user interface and of the development is different.”
