Pinta

I think that one of the higher listed ones should be Pinta. It's a lot like Paint.NET For windows, and it's free. It works greatly and it does all the jobs I want. Plus it's a real Mac App, you don't have to wait for X11 to load. The code is based off of Paint.NET.

I like these FREE Apps!

I use several free GREAT Image Editing programs for Mac OS X that are not listed here. CosmicPainter (http://www.garagecube.com/download/), LiveQuartz (http://www.rhapsoft.com/?menu=livequartz&lng=en), Paintbrush (http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net), and (my favorite one of these 4) the free version of Image Tricks (http://www.belightsoft.com/download/download.php#imagetricks).

Open Source GIMP

The only viable image editor I use is GIMP. I have it under four operating systems and it works fine. I also use Open Office 3.01 and Scribus. I am trying to become an Open Source expert so that when I retire in 2 years, I can teach this in schools with limited budgets. Charles L. Mims

Picasa

Picasa is fast, easy to use and free of charge. At the first installation it collects all the pictures which are anywhere on the computer
