The goal is a free cross-platform PhotoShop replacement for what YOU do.

In a recent thread, a Windows user was thrilled to find that the free
Paint.NET Windows software beat the payware PhotoShop for his needs.

Knowing that he's also on Linux, I am of the impression Pinta is the cross
platform macOS, Windows, Linux PhotoShop replacement for Paint.NET.

However... I use Paint.NET for anything PhotoShop can do, and as such,
I haven't personally looked at Pinta (or at PhotoShop) in many years...

Maybe people on this newsgroup have used mac/Linux/Win Pinta recently?

A possible advantage of Pinta, is it works on macOS & Linux along
with Windows and BSD (so it's a cross platform Photoshop replacement).

NOTE: It's a fact that it's a cross platform app; it's an assessment
that it's a Photoshop replacement. The iKooks can't figure that out.

Has anyone on this newsgroup looked at Pinta recently, perhaps???

If so, would you kindly inform the rest of us how your tests worked out?

Posted out of the goodness of my heart to disseminate useful information
which, in this case, is to try to learn more about the free Pinta editor.

Hey, Andy, I just purchased a year of:

---
Photography (20GB)

Edit photos in Lightroom and then transform them with Photoshop. Get
both plus 20GB of cloud storage.

US$9.99/mo
---

Directly from Adobe's site. I had some credit that was usable for it,
and wanted to just see what I was missing. It definitely is a top
notch app. May or may not renew it, a year from now, of course. I'd
like to take that length of time to see if it's useful, beyond what
paint.net already provided me.

Hi Joel

Do you share your photographs on-line?

If so, may I ask where?

It depends why I took them, sometimes I put them on imgur.com, and
show the link wherever appropriate. Occasionally I put one on
Facebook.
