- freedomben 8y ago+1 Pinta. I use it all the time. Would be overjoyed tho if Pinta got a little more love. It's pretty stagnated but still a great tool.
- themodelplumber 8y agoI used Pinta to make a technical cutout illustration the other day, for fun. I should have saved more often though, because it crashed and took everything with it. I also wondered why it defaulted to saving in JPG. When I opened my .ora save file, the colors had changed in a way that affected the antialiasing. It looked pretty bad. Anyway, while I wouldn't recommend it for illustration work unless you save often and save to PNG, for simple image work and even charting it is pretty nice.
- bonoboTP 8y agoIt is great, but lacks a few key features. For example there is no way to select a part of the image and rescale that part (meaning that the image content of the selection would be resized by dragging the corner of the selection box). My brain just doesn't grok the way of working in GIMP so I highly appreciate the general simplicity of Pinta. Somehow simple tasks are really complicated in GIMP. I usually just want to draw primitive shapes, move or resize image content, add text. Exactly the MS Paint-style basics, but it's a pain in GIMP.
