Dear fediverse, what is an adequate freeware (even better, if #openSource) replacement for #Adobe #Photoshop for #Windows? Current needs: take a painting made by hand, make it a vector graphics image and do some other stuff with it. Sorry for being so vague, I'm totally blind, it's for my wife who is not on fediverse (yet). Thank you so much! #Help

@Ryan thanks, I heard about Gimp before but thought it was for Linux only.

I used inkscape when I wanted to turn a drawing into a vector object. I think the command is "Path / Trace Bitmap".

the best one so far is @Krita, I’ve tried many including the most popular ones but that’s the closest you are gonna get to #photoshop, for vectors the best is @inkscape
