Krita is also good for creating textures and patterns. It has a wide variety of filters that can be applied to images to create interesting effects. Krita is also good for retouching photos and for creating digital illustrations.

    We have used Topaz Gigapixel AI and recommended it to many friends, peers, and colleagues in the industry. We do this because we have had great success in using Topaz Gigapixel AI on landscape images to increase the quality and clarity of terrain and geographical features that play an important role in conveying the 'grandness' of a location - yet needed that extra boost that Topaz Gigapixel AI is able to provide. We've used Topaz Gigapixel AI to successfully and beautifully upscale and sharpen portraiture photography where it is imperative to capture the ultra-realistic essence of the person, their character, the beauty as well as their imperfections. That's what's great about Topaz Gigapixel AI, it doesn't 'mask' or 'make things up' that aren't there. It simply makes them all better. We have great equipment and excellent craftsmanship, however, having tools on hand like the Topaz Gigapixel AI software is a no-brainer for us to use in our work. It helps us make great work even greater. And that's everything we can hope for in focusing on real people in our photographs. Trust the process. People will recognize and call it out if you get something wrong. Yet, no one says a thing when it all looks so good that that is all they can focus on. Well, that's exactly why we use Topaz Gigapixel AI in our day to day workflows.

    Topaz always responds to my questions in a few hours or a day at most. They've been able to explain their answers and give detail I needed to complete my work. Their instructions are quite clear and easy to use. I haven't had to reference any third-party support sources to get answers.

    I will not compare it with Adobe of Affinity Photo. This is more for photo editing and is a paid tool. The better comparison would be PaintTool SAI (still a paid one.) Krita and PaintTool SAI are both digital painting applications. Krita is free and open source, while PaintTool SAI is a paid application. Both applications have their strengths and weaknesses. Krita has a wide variety of features, including support for layers, filters, and brushes. It also has a wide selection of brush presets, and users can create their brushes. Krita is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. PaintTool SAI is a simpler application with fewer features than Krita. It does not support layers or filters and has a more limited selection of brushes. However, it is faster and more lightweight than Krita. PaintTool SAI is available only for Windows. So even for a free tool, Krita would win in my book.

    • Its low cost and wide range of features make it an excellent value for the money.
    • Its ease of use means that even non-artists can produce high-quality art assets. This has saved me time and money in producing assets for my games, resulting in a higher return on investment.
