GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It has many capabilities. It can ... [More] be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc. GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted. GIMP is written and developed under X11 on UNIX platforms. But basically the same code also runs on MS Windows and Mac OS X. [Less]

Inkscape is a drawing tool with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, and CorelDraw that uses the W3C standard scalable vector graphics format (SVG). The supported SVG features include basic ... [More] shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition, it supports Creative Commons meta-data, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, and SVG XML editing. It also imports several formats like EPS, Postscript, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats. [Less]

GrafX2 is a bitmap paint program that allows you to draw in more than 60 video resolutions including most of the standard Amiga resolutions : 320x200, 320x256, 320x512, 640x256, 640x512, etc. It was ... [More] written to run under DOS, but the code you'll find here was modified to use SDL and modern operating systems. This program is dedicated to everybody who knows what a single pixel is. Its layout is not very different from the famous Deluxe Paint or Brilliance, so it will be quite easy to handle it if you know at least one of these programs. If you aren't used to the art of drawing with up to 256 colors, it will be a little more difficult for you, but you should give it a try (or more, because most of the power of this program won't show up on the first try).

Tux Paint is a simple and entertaining drawing program geared towards young children. It has a simple interface, sound effects, and a cartoon character (Tux, the Linux penguin). Along with drawing ... [More] brush strokes, lines and shapes, you can also enter text and place "rubber stamp" (or "sticker") images on the picture. Tux Paint is extensible, and could be useful in an educational environment (such as a grammar, elementary, or grade school). It's portable across numerous platforms, and runs well even on slower systems like the Pentium 133MHz. [Less]

Krita is a painting and image editing application. Krita contains both ease-of-use and fun features like guided painting (never before has it been so easy to airbrush a straight line!) and high-end ... [More] features like support for 16 bit images, CMYK, L*a*b and even OpenEXR HDR images. Krita supports many managed colorspaces, like rgb, grayscale, cmyk, lab, ycbcr and lms, in 8 and 16 bits per channel. Some colorspaces even support 32 bits per channel! Krita can import RAW images in 8 and 16 bits per channel and load and save the usual image formats: tiff, png, jpeg. Krita has image layers, group layers, adjustment layers and the innovative part layers: any KOffice document can be embedded as a layer in Krita. Krita is scriptable in Python and Ruby. [Less]

Well, I've gone and screwed things up by giving the project the wrong name (It's Drip not Drop). Oh well. Drip is a drawing application for OS X and NOT an image editor. More like Painter and less ... [More] like Photoshop. Features: Layers Pressure sensitivity/Tablet aware Recording/Playback Render recordings into Quicktime movies JPEG quality preview on export It still lacks a lot of features, some of them basic (copy & paste among them), has its fair share of bugs and it's still too slow, but it's quite usable and I hope to fix all the issues in time. I use it all the time, especially since Painter 9 (the version I own) handles transparent images like crap. One of the reasons for starting this project was the removal of NetPainter from Painter after version 6. So I've written Drip with network painting in mind. This makes things difficult to code at times so I'm still debating if I want to still pursue this. In the meantime I've created Drop which has Windows Paint-like functionality but with two layers and network support. This may be enough for me as I begin to see why they removed NetPainter. Also Acorn has come out since I started this project and while it doesn't really meet my needs, it's quite affordable and should be good enough for most people. [Less]
