PaintBoard overview

PaintBoard aims to fill the need for a basic, streamlined, and Mac-native image editor. Whether you need to quickly crop a photo, add some text to an image, or just have fun doodling, PaintBoard has you covered.

PaintBoard is an inexpensive painting program for OS X that can be used to teach students the basics of painting software. Many sophisticated graphics software applications (such as Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop) use the same basic principles that can be learned using PaintBoard.

Using any painting program involves learning how to use the menu bar and the tool bar. PaintBoard also includes a color palette that allows the user to choose both foreground and background colors with which to work.

New Features in 2.0:

Transparent selection and marching ants for the selection tool
A completely rewritten Text tool for pinpoint-accurate insertion
Four all-new tools: Airbrush, Rounded Rectangle, Eyedropper, and Zoom
Image resizing, canvas resizing, and cropping
Countless bug fixes and speed improvements
and more!

PaintBoard can open and save to most major image formats, including BMP, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and GIF. Full support for transparency is available for image formats that support an alpha channel (currently PNGs and GIFs). You can also paste images copied from many common Mac applications, including Microsoft Office and Apple iWork.

Version: 2.0

When I click on "Visit Developer Site," it takes me to some kind of product showcase site called "Introducing Galaxy Nexus." If that's what you want to give your money to . . . Not sure where customer support's going to come into play here.

I don't get it. It looks extremely similar to the paintbrush application, which is free and as far as I know open source. This app costs 5 USD at app store and the developer link goes to a galaxy nexus ad. Maybe the developer of paintbrush decided to sell it. I don't have against app store, but they should allow listing of similar software like Macupdate does.
