AppleWorks paint replacement (for OS X Intel)

I used to use AppleWorks (for Mac) for the paint program that was built into it
and sometimes the draw program as well

I don't need another word processor as I have iWork and Microsoft Office with Microsoft Word, however I am having trouble finding a paint program for MacOS X that is similar to AppleWork's paint program, and It would be nice if it wasn't too expensive, but if my only option is a expensive program I am willing to go that way (I would just have to save up LOL :-)) I don't have AppleWorks installed anymore and it doesn't look like I could find a old copy somewhere and it would be better anyway if I bought more modern software.

intel iMac & MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2), MacOS X 10.6.x, & Windows 7

The AW paint module is actually very primitive. It's worth getting something more modern even if you have to take the time to learn it.

GraphicConverter is quite a bit more powerful and should do everything you've been used to, and then some.

Photoshop Elements has a steeper learning curve but is extremely powerful: valuable it has layers (meaning that when you create an object and then deselect it you can still select it and edit or move it).
