Oct 14, 2014 This Paint alternative on Mac comes free and it has two variants available depending on your Mac OS version. First is the Paintbrush 2.1.1 for Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, then the Paintbrush 1.2 for Mac OS X 10.4 or higher. Scribbles is yet another Microsoft Paint for Mac.

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.
Paint.NET features an intuitive user interface that supports layers, an “unlimited undo” to back out of any mistake no matter how disastrous, various special effects, and other tools. Where Microsoft Paint was able to do little more than resize images, Paint.NET is able to handle more advanced photo editing that you’d expect to be limited to Photoshop and other paid programs. Download it now for: Photoshop Express Mark Coppock/Digital Trends If the above options seem too derivative or you want more of that Adobe-experience without the associated price tag, is another option worth considering. Although pared down compared to the standard Photoshop, the Express variant does have a number of great options for editing photos with a much more gradual learning curve. With an interface that betrays its mobile roots, Photoshop Express offers quick and easy access to slide bar adjustments and one-touch fixes for photos of all types. Pre-packaged “Effects” make quick and dramatic changes to images to improve coloring and contrast; crop and transform tools let you tweak a photo’s orientation and focus, and “Details” give you control over sharpening and noise. Its file type support is limited to raw camera files and JPG and PNG files, but Photoshop Express is a freely available app that you can use on your Windows PC, iOS, or Android device without hassle.

You can add a grid and rulers to sketches and cut and paste from other apps including Microsoft Office, Safari, Pages etc. Most of these features however are exclusive to the Pro version and although the basic Paint S is free from the Mac App Store, you’ll need to download to upgrade and get a genuine alternative to Paint.
Now that I understand the concept of “layers” I appreciate how this app is better than Paint. I like how I can resize the shapes I add after adding them, but some of the navigation could be improved, in my opinion. Great app, and I purchased the full version, which was heartily worthe the ~$8.00. Cheers, and happy painting. USApatrt Comparable to MS Paint, but better I am not a computer whiz, but I am great with MS Paint.
You can save images with a transparent background and simply drag and drop images onto the canvas for editing. Importantly for Mac users, unlike many Paint equivalents on Mac, Patina is regularly updated to be compatible with the latest versions of macOS including El Capitan, Sierra and High Sierra. This in itself is worth paying a few dollars for because although most similar Paint apps for Mac are either free or open source meaning the developer doesn’t often update them when there’s a new release of OS X and they end up not working anymore.
Paint 2 also supports tabs, so you can easily work on multiple images without having to open separate instances of the app to do so. The app is available for free, but you can upgrade to the full version with an in-app purchase, which will add a couple of other useful features to the app, including color adjustment. However, the app does have quite a lot of great features even in the free version. Download Paint 2 3.
