Pinta Graphics Application

Once upon a time the popular Windows-only graphics application Paint.NET was open source, but it was closed a long time ago (2009!). Paint.NET is popular due to it’s Photoshop-like capabilities, but in an easy to use and free package. Pinta carried on the open source nature of the original Paint.NET and improved upon it in several ways… including Mac and Linux support and of course being fully open source.
