The Pinta version 1.2, a cross-platform image editor based on Paint.Net, which aims to be a simple alternative for more powerful applications like Gimp.
The application has drawing tools, unlimited layers, includes more than 35 image effects and various settings, and can be configured to use a docked interface or multiple windows. Pinta 1.2 It has been released recently and comes with some new features, as well as a ton of bug fixes. The changes are as follows:
- New option for text: Background fills.
- Preview image is added for Image Pad.
- Added automatic cropping.
- Reduced the height of the toolbar (10px) in Linux, to avoid wasting space.
You can see all the changes in your space at GitHub. Pinta 1.2 is only available for now for Ubuntu 11.10. To install it we open a terminal and put:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pinta-maintainers/pinta-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pinta
To try it!
An excellent program, not as complex as other heavyweights (Gimp / Krita), but with what it takes to do a little of everything.
Cloning the Git to test it 😛 I like Pinta ...
I installed it in Kubuntu 12.2 and it does not work ... although in the article it says that for Ubuntu 11.10 it should work in this without problems. What can be the fault? (Newbie Linux beginner)
I'm going to try it.
