Additionally, a feature found even in older versions of paint, the hidden color replacement tool with the eraser tool, is missing.įour, the color picker tool does not work as expected. Microsoft Paint, going back to Windows 7, has added quite a few additional shapes and antialiasing (even though this isn't something I use, I would appreciate it being there). Three, the tool is missing a few features found in modern Microsoft Paint. I would highly suggest using Preview as an example. Two, to build off of point 1, the overall UI and other design language could be brought into the current MacOS design language. Even GIMP has gone for a single-window design in more recent builds.

If we take a look at more advanced tools like Photoshop and Pixelmator, we can see that floating windows have been abandoned a long time ago. I use Microsoft Paint to create pixel art as a hobby, and unfortunately, Paintbrush does fall a bit short for it to be a replacement.įor one, the floating window application design has never been a good design paradigm, and it doesn't work for a tool like this. Functionally, it's quite similar to Microsoft Paint for older Windows versions (think Windows 95 through Windows XP). It's a nice tool that provides some basic raster 'painting'. tools to make perfect circles and squares I would like to have layers, 3 layers would be enough for most of my projects, front, middle and background. I would like to have the single Color Erase, outline of brush and eraser stamp area. On large images, the Spray tool sometimes crashes and stops working, forcing me to restart the software. There are a few tools and tweaks I would like to have on Paint. If you are interested, you can see my work on instagram: pbdl_art People sometimes look at me like crazy, I know I could do things faster on more developed software but it doesn't have the same charm and fun. Excellent tool, I spend hours on it, I don't know the author but I thank him very much, I'm an artist and when I work in digital I only use Paint, only in black and white, I really like this aesthetic and I develop artistic projects with, (drawing, graphics, gif, animation) only based on the work with Paint.
