Pinta 3.0.1
Pinta is a free, open-source program for drawing and image editing. It combines intuitive tools with powerful features, making it easy to create, enhance, and manipulate images. Whether you're sketching or retouching photos, Pinta keeps things simple without sacrificing functionality. Compared to Microsoft Paint, Pinta includes more features, such as support for layers and multiple undo levels. While it's not as powerful as GIMP or professional tools like Adobe Photoshop, it strikes a good balance between simplicity and functionality for everyday image editing.
Draw stuff. Fix photos. Make cool things - super easy with Pinta. Whether you're editing a picture or just messing around, it's fun and simple to use.
Some of the main feature benefits of Pinta include:
- Multiple operating system support (Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X).
- Layering (most simple bitmap editors don't have this capability). This feature is available in programs like Photoshop and GIMP but Pinta's system is more user-friendly for all levels of users. Layers help separate and group elements of an image for easy editing.
- Full history enabling users to experiment as you can always use the undo feature to easily to revert changes and actions.
- Customizable workspace.
- Multiple language support.
- Add-ins capability ( i.e. can write a custom brush).
- Has over 35 adjustments and effects for editing images.
