Not being in a position to work together, people within the KDE project decided to start their own image editor application development focused on an application that was part of the KOffice suite, called KImage, by Michael Koch.

His patch was never published, but did cause problems with the GIMP community at the time.

Matthias wanted to show the ease with which it was possible to hack a Qt GUI around an existing application, and the application he chose to demo it with was GIMP. The origin of Krita can be traced to Matthias Ettrich’s at the 1998 Linux Kongress. The name “Krita” comes from Swedish, and means “to draw” or “chalk” and was taken after the names “KImageShop” and “Krayon” gave problems.
