Using alot of stuff from the gimp...... basically a gimp that has a user friendly interface..... it's is a nice application that has some nice features. Simple things like drawing lines with the gimp can seem counter-intuitive (until you do some reading).... krita gives you a button to draw a line.... stuff like that. Nice user interface. Here is a copy of a wallpaper of mine that i added the text too.

I'm using it with SUSE 10, and so far, I really like it.

Hm, the interface looks much easier to use than the gimp, or rather just more like photoshop. I'll d/l it tomorrow and see how it goes.
