Hoja...You actually are right! :)
My bad, my wrong. I didn't scope out the program thoroughly before posting the link. I just wanted to offer members a thrifty piece of software with which to treat themselves this Christmas.
Here's something that's free for non-commercial use and $29 for the whole ball of wax. Artweaver is a combo art and photo editing program, light footprint, UI designed after Photoshop's. My gut tells me that for an extra $10 US or so, you can get Affinity Photo.
Oh, and here's a seamless tiling texture I did yesterday with ArtRage and a little help in Photoshop:

Re: Krita: Darned Decent Photoshop alternative
Thanks to Gary I have been looking at a couple of youtube videos on Krita instead of getting work done. I came across a video by Kate Oleska on ways to use Krita for coloring line art https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GXyUsjjAdg. At the end of the video she uses a method called GMIC to color a drawing. This looks real cool in application. She talks about this method at around the 16:15 mark in the video if anyone wants to check out.

Nice find Ray.
Just kicking the tires with the program, there seems to be a lot under the hood.
Usuals keyboard shortcuts are different though, shift+drag varies the brush size, space+shift+drag will rotate canvas.
Brush pressure didn't work at first, had to go to preferences, disable open GL, close prefs, reopen and enable it again for it to work.

This is a nice round-up of open-source creative software. https://opensource.com/article/16/12...ive-tools-2016
