Are There Any Applications Like "Paint" on Windows?

I'm a new Mac user and can't get used to the MacOSX layout.I installed an application from the downloads section last night for an application called paintbrush, because i need a basic Paint application to crop pictures etc.

But it's useless. Are there any other applications that anyone can recommend that will do basic paint style duties??

MacBook 2.4GHZ, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

If all you want to do is crop pictures; do minor color, contrast, color temperature, & similar photo-oriented tasks, try iPhoto, which is already installed on your MacBook. You can also do more than you might think with Preview, another application included with every MacBook. Many of the features are not immediately obvious, so it is a good idea to browse through the help topics for each app to get an idea of what they can do.

If you are willing to spend some cash on a more capable application, I recommend Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac, about $80 from Amazon.com & other outlets. This app is getting great reviews for its capabilities & ease of use, & got a "Best of Show" award at MacWorld 2008. I bought it recently & love it (unlike the old 2.0 version it replaced, which was fairly capable but burdened with such a lousy user interface that I rarely used it).
