Krita doesn't support non-standard stuff either -- there's the mypaint strokemap which will be lost when you roundtrip between krita and mypaint. But I don't think that that's what openraster was meant for -- it's a lowest common denominator file format that artists can use who need more than one application for their artwork. -- Boudewijn Rempt http://www.valdyas.org, http://www.krita.org, http://www.boudewijnrempt.nl _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
