MS Paint for Mac

Question

MS Paint for Mac

Anyone know a third party program that will perform the tasks of MS Paint? Here is the thing.....I use MS Paint for all image editing and graphic design needs. I looked at Paintbrush for Mac and you cannot "free transform" images. Meaning you can't resize by dragging corners of a selected area. Then I tried other programs and you cannot right click a web image and paste it into the workspace. It is very frustrating. I don't need the complexity of Photoshop or GIMP. I am looking for simplicity. I find it hard to believe that no Mac software will allow you to paste a google image into its workspace and resize it by dragging the corners. MS Paint did that with ease. Any suggestions?

IMAC, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

While I don't use any paint apps I'd recommend that you navigate to www.macupdate.com and do some searches for some paint apps. When I did I found lots of them! Also you can click the  symbol in the upper left of your screen, then click Mac OS X Software and begin looking for some. Last but not least is Google.

There is an app called, Cross Over, which will allow you to run Windoze apps in OSX. I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its performance. Could be a good option for you though.

Have you looked into Graphic Converter? I've been using it for years, does a lot of things, and it's inexpensive:
