Question Windows Paint for Mac

Quick query...

Was wondering if there is a simple Mac application with the same features of Microsoft's Paint for windows. I just want a lightweight app capable of allowing me to draw simple pictures and do very simple editing (eg black out an area of a picture). Any recommendations?

Many thanks in advance.

This question gets asked and answered a lot. GraphicConverter may have been bundled with your Mac. If not, download it. Some users like the freeware Seashore.

Or use AppleWorks. It used to be included with every Mac, now not though.

Some macs come with that already installed. You can get the application from http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9324 or pro http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19161

Thanks for the suggestions. Im sure theres a few people who would have found this thread helpful.

I went with graphicconverter by the way. Its a bit dodgy though and may swap to something else soon.
