Krita como alternativa Linux a Affinity Photo
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Krita can replace Affinity Photo for most raster‑editing tasks. It handles layers, masks, compositing, RAW, and exports to JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and PSD. The brush engine is stronger for digital painting, but it lacks some photo‑specific features like advanced color correction, HDR video, and the same level of non‑linear editing workflow. It works best for artists who need painting tools and can tolerate a steeper learning curve for photo‑specific workflows.

Lo que funciona igual
- Both support layer‑based editing with masks and groups
- Both can open and export PSD files
- Both support RAW image import
- Both provide advanced brush engines and custom brushes
- Both export to common raster formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF)
Lo que cambia
- Affinity Photo offers a dedicated non‑linear photo‑editing workflow with adjustment layers, curves, and color grading tools that Krita lacks or implements differently
- Affinity Photo has built‑in HDR video support; Krita does not
- Affinity Photo’s interface is more streamlined for photo retouching; Krita’s UI is geared toward painting and illustration
- Affinity Photo includes a proprietary plugin ecosystem; Krita relies on Python scripts
- Affinity Photo’s performance on large photo files is generally smoother due to optimised memory handling

Krita can open Affinity Photo’s PSD files, but complex features like adjustment layers, smart objects, or certain effects may not translate perfectly. Exporting from Krita to PSD preserves layers and masks, but some Photoshop‑specific data may be lost. For other Affinity formats, there is no direct support; converting to PSD first is recommended.
Pasar de Affinity Photo a Krita, paso a paso
- Export your Affinity Photo project to PSD
- Open the PSD in Krita; check that layers and masks are intact
- Re‑apply any adjustment layers or effects that did not import correctly
- Save the Krita file in .kra format for future edits
- Export final images to JPEG/PNG/TIFF as needed

Can Krita edit RAW files?
Yes, Krita supports RAW import and basic processing, but it does not offer the same depth of color grading tools as Affinity Photo.
Does Krita support Affinity Photo’s .afphoto format?
No. Krita only opens standard formats like PSD, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, and OpenRaster.
Is Krita suitable for professional photo retouching?
It can handle many retouching tasks, but for advanced color correction, HDR video, or complex compositing, Affinity Photo’s dedicated tools are preferable.
