For example, Unity supports Photoshop files just fine. Krita can also save your projects as Photoshop files, which is pretty much a must, since most applications will support Photoshop files, but not many (if any) will support Krita files. It even supports some layer styles, which is a good thing. If you were to switch from Photoshop to Krita, the first thing you'd need to know is whether Krita can open your Photoshop files, and it can. One thing to notice is this application doesn't include as many filters as Photoshop, so it may feel limiting in this aspect. Filters include color adjustments (brightness, contrast, saturation, levels, HSV), blurs (regular blur, gaussian, lens, and motion blur), artistic (like oil painting, posterize), edge detection, emboss, and others.

Krita also offers a wide variety of filters that can be applied to layers or images. However, by the time of writing this, I still haven't figured out if the transparency mask can use a copied image (meaning, copying an image to the clipboard and pasting it as a mask instead of a layer), something I do a lot in Photoshop. Another feature some would use a lot (me included) is the ability to add transparency masks to layers.
