    I’ve just found out about kitra right now but from the site it says it’s mostly focused are drawing and stuff like that so would photo editing be netter with something like rawtherapee?

      If you’re working with RAW files, neither Gimp nor Krita are the tool for you.
      I use Darktable to adjust global things like brightness, contrast, white balance and so on, then export to Krita or Gimp for more granular local modifications.
