This is is kind of a long shot, but if anyone is looking for an open source project to contribute to, IMO Krita is very close to being a full-fledged matte painting tool for VFX workflows, but it needs a color corrector for scene linear colours. I've outlined what I think it should do here:
<a href="https://krita-artists.org/t/color-corrector-for-scene-linear-workflow/1063" rel="nofollow">https://krita-artists.org/t/color-corrector-for-scene-linear...</a><p>I think the biggest hurdle to clear is that it needs a custom color widget, the OS widgets are not suitable due to assuming a 0...1 range.<p>Krita's a great piece of software and I readily admit I'm jus shamelessly trying to get someone to fix my pet peeve. But I also really do think this one feature is mostly what stands in the way of ditching Photoshop and using Krita for VFX work. In many other ways, including OpencolorIO support natively, Krita is already way ahead of Adobe's offering.
Given the multiple features added in this release (and not trivial features, either), I’m puzzled as to why this was called 4.4.2. Feels <i>easily</i> worth being called 4.5.0. In common (basically universal) usage, the number 4.4.2 implies a patch release with only bug fixes.
so i drew a picture for my daughter and couldn't figure out how to print it, because krita has no print function. between krita and gimp, i know why adobe can charge anything they want for Photoshop. i honestly think its subterfuge
The website needs some help - at least on mobile. If you don't know what Krita is, the site isn't abundantly clear or explicit. At least it doesn't tell the uninformed users right at the top. Maybe the site isn't meant for non-users, but it sure would be nice if the About gave the "elevator pitch" description of the software right across the top.
