Comments on Editing Images With Pinta
Editing Images With Pinta This article is about how to use the Pinta graphical editor to edit pictures and covers some of its most important features. Pinta is a lightweight image editor for Linux and is far more easier to handle than Gimp but still has a large variety of tools and features to use. It can be used for quick editing like resizing images or adjusting the colours of photographs, but also for more professional tasks which depend on layered images and more. It is a good mixture between MS Paint and professional image editing tools and is recommendable for most purposes of image-editing-everyday-use.

Just be aware: Pinta runs on Mono, which may or may not be subject to Microsoft patents.
How do I remove transparency? I am trying to use the image I have saved in a program and it tells me it cant because it has a transparency.
thanks!
How would you overlay images using Pinta?
how do u do text?
How do you go to the next image when reviewing all the photos one after another in a folder?
How do i resize things
Funny how nobody on the internet knows how to draw two lines in pinta. Everyone uses just a brush because nobody actually knows how to use this software. The first line is easy to draw, but the second line, if too close to the endpoint of a previous line, will not draw a line but rather just relocate the previous line. Also if you start to draw a line, but change your mind, forget hitting the ESC key, because it does nothing in this program. So you have to finish the line segment, then when you go back to highlight and delete the piece of unwanted line, you just get a transparent hole in your drawing rather than the background color. Everyone wants to show you how to click the pulldown menus, but noone actually knows how to use this software. How in all hell did Ubuntu fools decide to include this piece of crap over KoulorPaint, which actually works?
Press [Enter] to finish drawing all lines ;)Now if I could figure out how to resize a selection...
It's kinda hard to draw lines the way you would expect with this program.
Now, I'm sure it can do a lot of things, and that's great, but getting stuck drawing lines is a red flag.
deleting selected area or using eraser tool leaves grey boundry. how to remove it?
Wonderful Tutorial, thanks for putting this together! This is obviously one great post. Thanks for the valuable information .
a question--what are the bits for the Bmp file output? I use Linux and dislike having to use MS Paint to achieve either a 1bit(black&White) bmp or 25bit color Bmp which I need for an old MS embroidery software that I particularly like. I note Pinta has a coloured Bmp output. Have not tried it in the old programme as yet! Thks--E
"separate", not "seperate"
See e.g.: en DOT wiktionary DOT org/wiki/seperate
There are three instances, near "to seperate your", "seperate pictures", and "to seperate my picture".
Perhaps change "is gonna" to "is going to".
