Any program like Windows Paint?

LinuxSeeker · 06-02-2005, 07:00 AM

Is there any program as easy as Windows Paint is? I am not looking for anything special (I use gimp for almost anything anyway) but the program I am looking for will be used by kids and therefore must be as easy as the Windows Paint is.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I have debian, and i think not in a kde-core but in a full kde there is something called just plain paint.]

My four-year-old uses Tux Paint all the time. It is fantastic for what he wants. Be sure to download the extra stamps (6MB) and install. (There are deb/rpm/yum installs.)

If you want a simple program that mimics paint, the kolourpaint mentioned in another post is exactly what you want. I have my system setup to open JPG/GIF/BMP/PNG files with Kolourpaint by default. (I also often right-click and open with Gwenview or GIMP.)

HTH!

Thank you guys I found that kolourpaint is a very good program, exactly what I needed. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a program better and perhaps easier that Windows paint.

Thank you all again. If you find any other alternatives post them here to help other people who might have the same problem.
