DESCRIPTION
Paintbrush is a Cocoa-based paint program similar to Microsoft Paint and the now-defunct MacPaint. The project's ultimate goal is to recreate the basic functionality of Microsoft Paint, which has been noticeably absent from Mac OS X for years. Paintbrush can open and save to most major image formats, including BMP, PNG, JPEG, and GIF.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.1:
  • Fill tool completely rewritten, resulting in a significant speed gain
  • Limited undo stack to 10 undos (reducing chance for memory overflow)
  • SUBMITTED: Grid overlay now available
  • Zooming image will not cause funny scrolling to occur
  • By default, images created by Paintbrush will open in Paintbrush in the Finder
  • Bomb tool animation can be immediately completed by pressing ESC
  • Preliminary support for Shift key in Selection tool
  • Text insertion uses front color, automatically opens font panel
  • Color accuracy has been improved (now using calibrated instead of device colors)
  • Added button to switch foreground and background colors
  • Toolbox shortcut key changed to better represent functionality
  • Fixed in 1.1:
    • REQUESTED: No longer uses wrong size when opening certain JPEGs
    • REQUESTED: Second click on either color well hides panel, avoiding confusion
    • Pastes in correct bottom-left corner when zoomed
    • Changing colors during bomb animation will not change the color being used
    • Undo no longer makes duplicates of image clippings when used with Selection tool
    • Paste no longer occasionally places image in Toolbox instead of the document window
    • Scrollbars in correct location after zoom, opening large images
    REQUIREMENTS
    Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

    RORO01  Serious Drawback

    Although it saves PNG images, it doesn't save them transparent.  (Version 1.1)

    FREEBSD  I think it takes a sense of humor to realize the value in this basic, wonderful drawing program. Does no more or less than it should!   (Version 1.1)

    MUSUBANA  A decent little app.

    Doesn’t do much; for more advanced drawing, people should download Seashore.

    However, if you just want to make a quick sketch, it’s perfect.  (Version 0.8)
