Can some one suggest a mac application that has exactly the same functionality of Windows Paintbrush.

I dont want high end apps like Adobe paintbrush,seashore or Gimp.

If some one knows a mac app,please let me know.

I need this app very bad, and i need to stretch and get paralles,xp etc just for this app.

Thanks

Prakash

Thanks a lot.

I am a business owner, and i use paint apps to let my web developer know my design requirements.

Tux Paint - Download - Apple Mac OS X

I know it says its a kids program but it might suffice... not checked it out but might be worth shot!

ChocoFlop - Live! Image and Photo Editing for Mac OS X

Worth a try.

I've been looking for something that does pretty much what Microsoft Photo Editor does (size, change resolution, crop, add/select transparency, etc.), so I'm going to look into these as well.

And don't poo-poo Paint; it's quite powerful, though the UI isn't what anyone would call the greatest. I've done some remarkable work with it (if I do say so myself) because it was what I had, and I wound up using it by choice for a number of specific chores.

I would hardly call Seashore high end. What you get with it is easy to use.

Agreed. It's fairly nice, though not quite a Paint replacement.

ChocoFlop looks good at this point.

Let me try if i can get away from Microsoft Paintbrush.

If I can getaway from Microsoft Paintbrush.

I can install MS Office, Project,Visio using codeweavers wine and get away from parallels.

Apple should come up with a basic paintbrush program bundled,instead of stupid app like photobooth.

Apple are you listening?

Oh ****...Paint is ****in' terrible. I can't believe you put 'powerful' and 'Paint' together in the same sentence.

Paint = MacPaint 1984. And even that would be pushing it. Colors aside (which was mimicked by patterns), MacPaint destroys Paint.

Rita seems pretty close.

The main things missing are

1. adding text in the image

2. Selecting a region and cropping it

3.Selecting a region and moving it around

Can someone let me know if these can be done in Rita.

[prakash]

The only things i use

1. Take the screen shot of the webpage and open it in MS paint (chocoflop)

2. Cut portions of the text and insert new text (can do it chocoflop)

3. Select a portion of the webpage, crop it or move it around (cannot do it chocoflop)

4. Insert Custom shapes( cannot do it chocoflop)

5. using paintbrush pen mark an arrow and type some text next to it


These are simple tasks and i am struggling to find a simple app to do these things natively . Seashore does not meet my need.

Rita is good, chocoflop comes very close, if i can insert text and also select and move or crop portions of the image around.

Any help will be appreciated. I want to avoid windows.

I am happy running office,visio,project through wine.

Thanks

Prakash

...only if you have a Mac to run MacPaint (or any other Mac graphic program) on.

Paint CAN do pixel-level editing on any file it can open, and allows the user to paste any image into a new file and then edit it with ANY color the Windows computer can produce-those colors at the bottom are only the starting palette. As I said, it's pretty powerful for something that's FREE and I didn't get in trouble for using on a government computer to do my job with.

And I hope nobody thought I meant it was even decent at image creation! I perhaps should have specifically mentioned using it for EDITING existing images. It's poo and a half for creating anything-you're 100% right in that!

if your going to spend the money to pay for paralell desktop and XP, I would highly recomend getting Photoshop elements instead. It does all the things you require, but about a billion times easier.. out of curiosity, why dont' you want to use PS?

Color It! is an oldie but goodie that recently went OS X.
