Paintbrush For Mac

Paintbrush is a lightweight and user-oriented Mac OS X application, heavily inspired by Microsoft Paint program, that comes as a replacement for the discontinued Apple’s MacPaint.

Paintbrush comes with a user-oriented interface and a small pack of painting tools that you can use to quickly draw, sketch or paint images over a white canvas or an existing picture.

From within Paintbrush’s main window you can easily open and save your work as BMP, GIF, JPEG TIFF or PNG file.

Paintbrush enables you to work with file formats that support the alpha channel and, as a result, you can add transparency or work with transparent items in your picture.

On top of that, you can copy and paste images from most Mac applications, including other image editors, text processors and other similar apps.

The Tools panel offers you quick and easy access to all available tools and enables you to adjust the size and color of the currently selected brush, drawing or painting tool. Hence, you can adjust the size of your brush, erase or airbrush, line and curve thickens.

What is more, the Rectangle, Ellipse and Rounded Rectangle tools come with customizable thickness, stroke and fill color while the Text tool allows you to change the font, color and size with just a few mouse clicks.

Paintbrush also features an Eyedropper and Zoom utility that you can use to zoom in or out and focus on various parts of your image. From Paintbrush’s Preferences window, you can decide the default file format for your saved work and limit the number of undos you can perform.
