Gimp is better suited for this role
Krita is a art focused program
You also cannot add information to ~~blurted~~ blurred pictures, you can only approximate
Gen-Z Indian here. It's for school kids, and they're going to be drawing gibberish anyway. Attendance is how they grade. Back then, we used to play around with Paint on Windows XP. Good thing they're getting exposure to open-source early.
Take 2 people that have not used gimp or krita. Ask them to daw a circle, and see which software they are able to do it in.
Gimp is a ux nightmare (or at least it used to be i haven't used ot in years) I will try gimp 3 when it comes out in 2037
Gimp hasn't changed a ton in the last three years.
GIMP 3.0 will be released this year, as far as I remember. (I already using the final test version for 3.0).
As someone coming from Photoshop it's really hard to get into Gimp with it missing the layer effects you'd expect, which you all have in Krita.
Krita is aimed for Digital Painting, not Photo Manipulation, Photi Manipulation it's GIMP's work.
I use Krita as an image editor and I prefer it.
I’m just here for the blurted pictures
