A simpler alternative to GIMP
Pinta is a neat drawing and editing tool inspired by Paint.NET, which aims to work as a simpler, easier-to-use alternative to GIMP. This means you shouldn't expect Pinta to be some kind of open source Photoshop clone. It does include some interesting features like support for layers, unlimited undo and redo, and a bunch of special filters and effects to spice up your images – but it's nothing like a serious photo editor. However, it does include a nice selection of drawing tools that can make Pinta a good choice as a photo editor.
According to Pinta's developer, the program is still at an early stage of development – which may be the reason why some of its tools are not available yet. In any case, Pinta does look promising, so we'll keep an eye on this handy little editor as it grows.
Pinta is a simple drawing utility and image editor with a clean interface and an interesting set of tools.
