Hi, I'm an artist who was forced to learn (analog) photography, but isn't interested in photography. However, since a few month I'm using a Sony α6400. I'm not aware off any professional Linux software for artwork, at best software with all professional features does exist, but gets way to often broken, so that it's not wise to depend on it. To some extend you probably could use extra/digikam 7.1.0-2 An advanced digital photo management application as well as the usual suspects extra/gimp 2.10.22-1 GNU Image Manipulation Program in my experiences way to unstable for serious usage, or extra/krita 4.4.1-1 Edit and paint images quite good, if you don't need reliable colour profiles. I experienced the available colour profiles as utterly broken. I'm running Windows 10 in Virtualbox, using the package virtualbox-bin from AUR (+ guest additions and + the extension pack from Oracle) and my experiences are quite good. My experiences with the package virtualbox from community aren't that good. However, I do not use art software for Windows, I only want to point out that virtualbox is not that bad, to run Windows 10. Some software that can't be used with virtualbox, due to hardware issues, works when running it under wine-staging. I'm using wine-staging for a MIDI guitar synth editor. To some extend I'm using Linux software for artwork, but mostly an iPadPro for photo development and painting, let alone pro-audio. Regards, Ralf
