14 DAY TRIAL // Krita Foundation completed a fundraising campaign successfully raising money for making their Krita digital painting app faster than the well-known Photoshop software from Adobe.
Exactly a month ago, on May 4, we reported that the Krita developers decided to do another Kickstarter campaign, after last year's successful one, this time to rise €20,000 ($22,000) for making the next version of the application faster the Photoshop.
A few hours ago, Krita's fundraising campaign was successfully completed, raising a little over €30,000 ($34,000), which means that the developers will concentrate all of their efforts on making the open-source digital painting app much faster than Photoshop.
"And there were are, campaign ended, champagne (only a half-bot, but it was very nice) and cakes consumed! With the awesome sprint at the end, we're now at nine full stretch goals and that's so awesome! Thank you all for supporting Krita!" said one of the developers.
At the moment, the current version of Krita is 2.9.5 and has been released as part of the Calligra 2.9.5 office suite for the KDE desktop environment. Most probably, the new, improved code will be implemented in Krita 3.0, which should be out later this year.
