Paintbrush – Paint For The Mac 11
Application
Hey
If you have every used a Windows machine you will know of paint. The best drawing tool for the PC. On a Mac we are not so lucky and don’t come which such as an application. But some clever person has made a Cocoa-based paint program for Mac OS X. Its called Paintbrush. If you are a graphic designer on a Mac it is the only program you will ever need. You won’t need Photoshop after you have used this application.
You can draw, erase and colour in sections of your document really easily. It is not as feature rich as Paint but it does have potential to be really useful.
If you do like Paint check out this spoof advert advertising the program. Notice the Mac’s in the background.
A very simple app. If you are looking for something better I would definitely check out GIMP, or Pixelmator. They have more features and are easier to use for creating better images.

Wow, really? You’re going to claim that Paint is the best drawing tool for the PC?? Most used, maybe, give that it comes with Windows. But the best? I don’t think so.

Paint… “feature rich?” Never thought of Paint as anything but a basic, no-frills paint program.

Only program a graphic designer will ever need? We use more for design than Photoshop. I use InDesign and Illustrator far more than Photoshop, and I doubt Paintbrush has advanced type capabilities and photo adjustments.
I love your site, and I know it’s been mentioned before, but you could use some proofreading and a bit more thought in what you say.
Enjoy your holiday.

Surely this is a spoof. There are many good design programs available but the far reaching capabilities of Photoshop in the design world is the reason it is one of the most used programs, far exceeding Paint or Paintbrush. If this is a spoof… then you got me!

I’m guessing the guys in the comments can’t sense what sarcasm is.

For those people that don’t get the post. I was being sarcastic. A bit of English humor never seems to reach far on the internet.

I downloaded this months ago and have made very little use of it, but not for lack of want/need. It’s barely effective for simple tasks like adding text to a photo, but even while doing that it is difficult to choose color and font. Where is the resize option? Isn’t that the first thing people want to do with a photo? Perhaps all Paintbrush for Mac is good for is drawing like a toddler. Too bad…

I don’t it is designed to be a functional application. Just a fun application that makes fun of paint.
