Best Answer: I've linked below to an application that's very similar to Paint, and a website that I find is great for discovering new apps you never knew existed. And since there is no working malware for Macs, and hasn't been since OS X's release in 2001, it's a given that any Mac app you download is free of viruses. Malware is only such a huge crisis on Windows in particular because of Microsoft's historically shoddy engineering. There are a few keyboard shortcuts for capturing what's on the screen: ⌘-Shift-3 will save the contents of your whole screen as an image file on your desktop. ⌘-Shift-4 will turn your mouse pointer into a crosshairs so you can select just a portion of your screen, and then save just that as an image file on your desktop. (Hint: if you hit the spacebar before selecting anything, the pointer will change to a camera, and you can click on any window, or even things like the menu bar or the Dock, to save it as an image of just that window/object/whatever with a transparent background, complete with shadows.

Hi, I'm looking for a paint pot like product in a skin tone shade (C7/NC45/NW43) as a base. The PPs I own from MAC are ok, but I find myself wanting more.

By far the coolest kind of screenshot, IMO.:P) Adding the Ctrl key to either of these (i.e. Pressing ⌘-Ctrl-Shift-3) will send the captured image to the clipboard instead of saving it as a file, so you can just paste it into your graphics app of choice.

Microsoft Paint For Mac

Hello to all, I come from a windows background and am very familiar with the simple 'paint' application; I am searching for an equivalent app for my Mac. I have downloaded [free] 'paintbrush for Mac' from the internet but find that it does not have the tools which MS Paint has, and more importantly, I can work only with 2 colors.white an black. Can anyone point out to me any free download that allows me to work in color too? FYI I do have Adobe photoshop but feel uncomfortable in trying to learn it!

A personal 'irrational' dislike! Somanna wrote: Thanks for your reply. You have given the correct instruction as to how one can add color in paintbrush. However, I feel [I have not experimented fully yet with this] that it does not allow one to draw straight lines [shift>drag]. I have used Microsoft's Paint to draw diagrams to scale. If there are ways to get this feature of drawing straight lines in this app, please let me know. [Shift > drag] + the Straight-line button results in straight lines which are limited to fixed angles.

'This has layers in them [something which Photoshop also has and I am afraid of!] ' Why are you afraid of applications that use layers? Layers are one of the easier concepts of both drawing and painting apps to understand and use. Think of layers as multiple sheet of clear paper or thin sheets of clear plastic that you can draw or paint on. You can build up a drawing or painting by putting different elements on different layers. If you want to alter elements on a layer only that layer gets affected. If you don't alike what you did on a layer, you can erase an entire layer and start drawing or painting on that layer, again, or delete the layer entirely. You can, also, more easily move elements around on a layer more easily that having all the elements on a drawing or painting on one layer.

So, there's the quick tutorial about layers. What type of diagrams are you drawing/painting?
