MyPaint como alternativa Linux ao Paint
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
MyPaint is a good replacement for Paint if you're moving beyond basic edits into drawing or digital art, especially with a tablet. It excels for artists who want expressive brushes and a clean workspace. However, for users who only need to crop, resize, or annotate simple images, MyPaint is overkill. Its interface hides tools by default, which can confuse beginners. If your goal is casual sketching or painting with rich brush dynamics, it's a strong step up. For quick edits, stick with simpler tools.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Paint
MyPaint can open and export PNG and JPEG files, which are common formats used by Paint, so basic image exchange works. It also supports OpenRaster (.ora), which Paint cannot read. BMP files, often associated with Paint, are not explicitly listed as supported in MyPaint—conversion may be needed. If you're sharing simple drawings or screenshots saved as PNG, compatibility is solid. For BMP or complex Paint files with text or shapes, expect manual rework.

Can I use MyPaint with a mouse instead of a tablet?
Yes, but it's designed for pressure-sensitive tablets. With a mouse, you lose brush dynamics like pressure control, limiting its strengths.
Does MyPaint have a text tool?
No, MyPaint does not include a text tool. You’ll need to add text in another program or use an external editor.
Is MyPaint suitable for editing screenshots?
Not ideal. It lacks cropping, arrow tools, and text—basic screenshot-editing features. Use GIMP or Pinta instead.
