Color blending for brushes and layers similar to photoshop - I use this for post processing and the like a lot Works smoothly at high resolutions with many layers Please post some recommendations based on the following criteria and the type of art I do. I wouldn't mind using older Photoshop versions so as long as I can buy it, keep it and not have to pay thousands of dollars for it.
I used to have a license for Photoshop CS4 back in the day but I lost it. I'm looking into affordable alternatives, not subscription based one time purchase programs. My illustrations for books are often normal sized but I stil l crank up the dpi to 300 or 600 so I can work on finer details better. Problem is, from what I could tell Krita has performance issues with high-res files for print, I normally use many many layers in photoshop as I work, I often do high-res files at 300 or 600dpi for posters and the like. Couple years ago I made a topic asking for some free alternatives to photoshop, people recommended some stuff and I decided to check out Krita as it seemed the closest to what I need.
