Krita als Linux-Alternative zu Adobe Camera Raw
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Krita can serve as a practical replacement for Adobe Camera Raw for users who need to open and edit raw files on Linux, especially photographers who already use Krita for painting or illustration. It handles most common raw formats, offers non‑destructive editing via layers and masks, and provides color management, exposure, white balance, contrast, sharpening, and export options. However, it lacks the tight integration with Photoshop and the dedicated raw‑processing workflow that ACR provides. It is best suited for photographers who are comfortable with a more general‑purpose graphics editor and do not require batch processing or a history stack.

Was gleich funktioniert
- Supports a wide range of raw camera formats
- Provides non‑destructive editing (layers, masks, history stack)
- Offers color management and ICC profile handling
- Allows exposure, white balance, contrast, sharpening adjustments
- Can export to JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and other common formats
Was anders ist
- No dedicated batch processing engine – manual or script‑based work required
- Does not integrate into Photoshop or other Adobe workflows
- Lacks a native history stack with step‑by‑step undo like ACR
- Does not provide a lightweight plugin interface for other editors
- Missing specialized raw‑specific filters and presets built into ACR
Ihre Adobe Camera Raw-Dateien öffnen
Krita can open most raw files (CR2, NEF, ARW, etc.) through its built‑in raw decoder. Exporting to raw is not supported; however, you can save edited images as TIFF or JPEG and then use a separate raw editor if needed. If you need to preserve the exact ACR workflow, you may need to use a dedicated raw tool such as Darktable or RawTherapee on Linux.
Von Adobe Camera Raw zu Krita wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- 1. Install Krita from your distro’s package manager or Flathub.
- 2. Open the raw file in Krita via File → Open or drag‑and‑drop.
- 3. Use the Color Management panel to set the correct ICC profile and adjust exposure, white balance, contrast, and sharpening.
- 4. If you need batch processing, export the edited images and run a separate batch tool like Darktable or RawTherapee.
- 5. Save the final image in the desired format (JPEG, TIFF, PNG).

Does Krita support all raw formats that Adobe Camera Raw does?
Krita supports most common raw formats such as CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, and others. Some very new or obscure camera models may not be supported yet, but the list is extensive.
Can I use Krita to edit raw files in a workflow that also uses Photoshop?
Krita can open the raw file, but you cannot directly edit the same raw file in Photoshop after editing in Krita. You would need to export the edited image to a common format and then open it in Photoshop.
Is batch processing possible in Krita?
Krita does not have a built‑in batch processor. You can use Python scripts or external tools like Darktable or RawTherapee to batch‑process files after editing in Krita.
