Revisiting an older render.
I want to get away from Photoshop, that I used for over 20 years, so my muscle memory and workflows are tied to it very much. Things I do in Photoshop in seconds take me minutes in other software. In addition I have some paid plugins that I want to still use in the future. I was suggested GIMP multiple times, but I cannot use GIMP, I tried it again and again for many, many years and I get aggressive after seconds using it. I think after all these years the UX is still horrible (ymmv). But I like Krita.
So: I first open the rendered image in RapidRAW as a replacement for Camera Raw to make basic postwork, that works great. Then I open the image in Krita and use some of the tools there. I installed a Krita plugin that is able to open a Krita layer in an external application. I Installed my Photoshop Plugins in Affinity 3. I do not want to use Affinity 3 itself extensively, because of Canva and their fishy licenses and AI bullshit. But as a plugin proxy I think it's okay. So I do the changes I want in Alien Skin Exposure X2, save the image and close Affinity, which brings the image back to Krita as a new layer. Great!
That is close to my Photoshop workflow without too much relearning, nearly as fast and in addition I found some very nifty features in Krita that I do not have in Photoshop.
So it may be possible for me to ditch Photoshop at last.
