Krita Foundation completed a fundraising campaign successfully [kickstarter.com] raising money for making their Krita digital painting app faster than the well-known Photoshop software from Adobe.

[...]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.

[...]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.

[...]The current version of Krita is 2.9.5 [...] Most probably, the new, improved code will be implemented in Krita 3.0 [softpedia.com], which should be out later this year.
