Workflow coverage and comparison notes

Layered raster editing instead of a Photoshop subscription; alpha, with no professional parity claim.

Before you switch

Alpha software; not hands-on tested by us. Alpha; the README explicitly says it is not yet a Photoshop replacement for daily professional work. Save, reopen and export reliability are not established; keep backups of important work.
