Why another one ? Not because GIMP and Krita are bad, they are not, and Krita in particular is excellent at what it is for. Two things I wanted that I could not get: I wanted a linux-native image editor that has a photoshop-like UI/UX... Because I used to work with Photoshop and I am now a Linux user for over 2 years, I haven't found a proper Image Editor that doesn't ask me to learn all the UI/UX over again (which I don't really want to..) and I wanted a linux-native app because it's better than a WebApp in my opinion... Frame time treated as a feature. Compositing happens on the GPU and stays there. Document pixels are written by wgpu and presented by Qt's Vulkan RHI on the same device, so nothing crosses the language boundary while you pan, zoom or paint. A 4K document with a stack of layers moves at the refresh rate of the monitor, not the speed of a memcpy. Photoshop's layout, drawn in Plasma's idiom. Tool shelf on the left, options bar under the menu bar, Layers/Properties/History on the right, menu entries under the menu they belong to. Nobody moving across should have to relearn where anything lives. The look is Breeze, same accent, same spacing, same focus treatment, from one token file.
