Unfortunately my knowledge only goes for the base program. But i’ve heard many saying that with the right time and extensions GIMP does replace Photoshop.
This is what I use if I can’t use Illustrator - it’s also got some terrific conversion tools. Currently the only app i know that can open and convert old Fireworks files.
Krita 🎨🖌️
It’s literally FOSS Adobe Illustrator, why do people don’t use it??
And also FOSS Photoshop. Without the annoying subscription model and AI scraping. And way more comfortable to use than GIMP.
I would say GIMP (+ extensions) is still the FOSS version of Photoshop.
Of course, i would love to have a fully fledged program without such a steep learning curve.
But i think Krita is fine as it is.
So i wished there was another just as good program that filled that void.
https://www.photopea.com/ could be an option, depending on your needs.
Photopea is excellent, but FOSS it is not.
Any extensions you would suggest for GIMP?

You mean a FOSS Clip Studio Paint or maybe Paint Tool SAI? IIRC Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based program
I remember the first time I tried Krita and clearly thinking “Wait, is this a community project?!?”
