When I was pointed to PixiEditor, I got my hopes up to find a replacement for Photoshop or Affinity Photo that runs on Linux (I can’t cope with the GIMP). But apparently this is not your direction of development.
I’d need e.g.
you might want to take a look at Krita, it runs on linux and is fairly feature-complete
Krita is a great paint program, but not a photo editor.
We are still working on refining and extending all features in all the different directions (photo editing, vector art, pixel art) we’re going, and photo editing is probably the least worked out right now.
This is our first Version supporting multiple workflows, with V1 we were still a pixel art editor
We do already have filters, their available through the Node Graph
As an example, here’s the Blur Filter
There are currently
With the last two you can practically recreate many other Filter available in other Apps with a bit more manual work
Thank you for the extensive answer!
It’s just, GIMP needed several years to grow CMYK support, and I guess, if your algorithms aren’t built for color management, it will become a major rewrite if you want to support profiles properly. Also in PDF editors I see that most developers don’t understand prepress, and it doesn’t work to just add a few functions.
Well, all the best for Pixieditor, and maybe we’ll meet again…
I stand corrected, I tried again and found in Krita what I need. Apparently I didn’t look into the right direction (i.e. menus) the first time.
Actually, our codebase is very color-space aware. We are supporting 2 color spaces: sRGB and Linear sRGB, so technically adding support for other color space should be a few lines of code. Though of course, as everything, proper color management is more than rendering colors propertly so more work would be probably needed.
However I am pretty certain, that for us it’s a matter of weeks at most to add it, not years like GIMP
