Would be nice if it could output SVG!

Re: JS Paint – A web-based MS Paint remake
#142I haven't used Windows as a primary OS for years. I miss having MSPaint around for small edits, and have yet to find a suitable replacement. Other apps either have too few features (e.g. Preview) or too many (GIMP), or the interface doesn't feel right. It might just be because I'm used to it after using it for years when I was younger, but MSPaint's interface just makes sense, and it hits the sweet spot of features f…
On Windows I've been using Paint.NET for years now. It's absolutely brilliant. Lightweight editing with quite a bit of extra features like properly working undo. Free, lots of updates, good UX. I use it at least few times a week. Recently I've been on OS X a lot, and I wasn't able to find a suitable replacement. Like, nothing even remotely close. Quite a shame. Same story for Linux.
There is a Paint.NET remake on Linux called Pinta. Not quite as stable (it struggles with large images), but it has the exact same interface.

#143Today the author added support for transparency, and thereby also shift+left-click brushes from current selection. My most favourite MS Paint feature. https://github.com/1j01/jspaint/issues/23#issuecomment-35851...
Thanks for update. I was wondering about that too.

#144Now make a desktop app out of this using electron!

#145The UI and behavior is amazingly close to the real thing. But I cannot help but sigh when the brush tool lags more than Paint lagged on a 233 MHz Celeron. I really think this is an awesome project, but I am old enough (30) to remember fast performing GUI apps and I don't know if I'll ever "get over" losing them. edit: hopefully it is an inefficient implementation and not the inherent slowness of web apps.
One thing I noticed is that it doesn't draw zoomed-in images correctly - pixels are blurry. Didn't check if this is Canvas or WebGL, but something in the code begs being changed from LINEAR to NEAREST. (EDIT: turns out to be a Firefox issue; Chrome shows the sweet pretty pixels correctly.) > I really think this is an awesome project, but I am old enough (30) to remember fast performing GUI apps and I don't know if I'…
Software will always fill up the capacity of the hardware.
For me the brush tool is very smooth (running Chromium browser on a 5 year old gaming/dev rig).

#146The site works nicely in my browser (Chrome).
I feel like this mockumentary is not getting enough credit:

- "We worked for eight months in a facility in California to figure out what were the best twelve colors to include in Paint"
- Can we make this line thinner? - No. - Ok.
I have not used Paint for any real work in the past, other than saving screenshots. Ever since MS started shipping the snipping tool, I hardly use this function.

I've been an almost Linux/BSD user for more than a decade now, and I've always used 32-bit MSPaint from XP without any issue through Wine. Salvage the .exe from a Windows XP install and the necessary MFC .dll, and you're ready to roll.
I think with Wine you can only save in BMP and PNG? Last time I used Wine to emulate MSPaint, these were the only two formats for saving the files.

I've tried that, it was maybe 3~5 years ago, and it was quite bad in comparison. Not sure if there was a significant progress since.

Can anyone suggest a small, OSX graphical editor? I really just need one specific thing: "making a negative image". I have it on IrfanView, but I could not find a simple equivalent on MacOSX.
If all you need to do is create a negative version of pre-existing image, you can use ImageMagick on the command line:
$ converge in.png -negate out.png

> and have yet to find a suitable replacement There are a few, Kolourpaint is pretty much an MSPaint clone for KDE [1] and Paintbrush is the macOS equivalent [2]. There is also Gnome Paint [3], but hasn't seen any update in years. I suppose the closest would be Pinta [4], although that is slightly above MS Paint on the complexity level (probably more comparable to Paint.NET than MS Paint). > I'm not sure how I feel a…
I'm not experiencing any of that. Works immediately for me at this time
