Mac version of Paint?
You know Paint, the very basic and free graphic editor that comes with Windows?
Is there a similar free verison I could download for OSX?

It seems to be $30 to buy it.

Oh I see. My Mac is only about 4 months old. It might be on one of the CDs that came with it.

MacPaint was bundled with early Macs in the 80s, right?
... Nah, that's not what you're talking about. I think Graphics Converter does what you're looking for, but of course it's not free - unless it's bundled with your computer (as has been said).
If it's _not_ bundled with your computer, you might find free (or almost free) applications that do similar things on versiontracker.com or macupdate.com ...Mac user since 1987.

not on my mac either.
I just had a quick search and came across the free paint app called ArtRage (download here). It's pretty good - take a look at the gallery of images created using ArtRage. wow!
It's one of the best-looking paint apps I've ever seen. very impressive. However, its features are somewhat limited. Depends what you're wanting to use it for I guess.
There's always GIMP, bit it's probably a lot more complex than what you're after (closer to Photoshop that Paint). Can be difficult to install also.Last edited by Thank The Cheese; January 3rd, 2006 at 05:38 AM.
