Hey all, I was kinda of amazed my iMac did not come with some sort of simple Paint program. Since I dont dont anything but minor graphics editing, is there a OS X program on par with MS Paint I can download and use?

Thanks in advance

Tux Paint


Or if this is way too basic for you. Get Photoshop Elements. It is a great program.

Photoshop elements $99.00*

If you don't have a scanner and need one, then sometimes you can get one for cheap and bundled with Photoshop Elements.

Or go to Ebay!

you could always try messin around with the gimp. http://www.macgimp.org/

I was going to suggest that, but I didn't think he would want to go through the trouble, besides for his needs, Photoshop Elements would probably be best.

Myself, I am waiting on gimp, or will invest in the Full Photoshop someday when I have the money to buy the Entire Creative Suite Professional.

Let us know how it goes.

Here are a few other apps out there that are really worth noting:

Graphic Converter - Great viewer/converter/image processing [Shareware $30]

Image Magick- Unix-based image processing [Free!]
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12447

Adobe Elements - [Commercial $99]
Photoshop Elements is a GREAT program. I'd recommend it for anyone wanting to do graphics that doesn't need CMYK graphics and professional printing on a press.

Ok thankyou for the suggestions, but I just happened to notice that Appleworks has a paint program built in, so I will go ahead and use that
