“We were making software, adding features, doing releases, writing unit tests, doing all the right moves – but we didn’t have any users. The project began to attract developers, but for Rempt and many of the contributors, Krita was still a hobby. I was having so much fun, I sometimes felt working on Krita should be illegal.” “So, I started out with my little tablet and my knowledge of Python and Java to hack a brush tool in this C++ application. Finally, in 2002, the graphics editor became Krita.īy the time Rempt became involved around 2003, Krita had been rewritten three times, and “was more or less a GUI wrapper around ImageMagick,” as he recalls.
The fledgling project passed through a variety of names – KImage, KImageShop, and Krayon– but was plagued with trademark or naming issues initiated by opportunistic lawyer. Ettrich demonstrated creating a Qt interface around GIMP, and when GIMP objected to the idea, KDE decided to create its own graphics editor in May 1999. Krita owed its existence to a presentation by Matthias Ettrich, KDE’s founder, at the 1998 Linux Kongress.

That lasted about half an hour before I realized I hadn’t got a clue how to do a painting application!” Instead, he started looking for existing projects to join. “I didn’t really grok GIMP back then, so I did what comes natural: I started a new project, a new painting application. “Coincidentally, I got a cheap Wacom Graphire tablet,” Rempt recalls. After he wrote a book on PyQt, he looked around for another project to become involved in.
Rempt became interested in free software just out of university, writing a mail and news client and a database application for linguistics.
