I mean, what exactly does gimp or photoshop do (besides the RAW editing tools–but if you’re using those you’re already a professional) that Krita doesn’t?
I tried using Krita instead of gimp but found it hard to do color management: adjust levels, exposure, color curves and such. At the time I simply couldn’t find any dialogs to do many of those tasks.
Right now I’m in a bit of a bind because part of my workflow relies on exporting particular layers and layer groups as separate images. GIMP has a plugin for it, but it uses Python 2, no longer developed, and likely won’t work in GIMP 3. If Krita can do this, I’m switching immediately.
I feel like Krita is more focused on digital painting, rather than image editing

Yeah you’re right, it’s not meant for that

Oh I wish GIMP had a “export visible” functionality. My workaround is usually to “copy visible” and then paste to a new image.
Isn’t that what the basic “Export” does?
You’re right. What I actually wish for is a “export selection” functionality so that you can quickly drag a rectangular selection and export that.
Looks like it can: https://superuser.com/a/1347993
