KolourPaint is a free, raster graphics editor for the KDE, similar to Microsoft's Paint application before Windows 7, but has some additional features such as support for transparency.[1][2]
It aims to be conceptually simple to understand, providing a level of functionality targeted towards the average user. KolourPaint is designed for daily tasks such as:
- Painting - drawing diagrams and "finger painting"
- Image Manipulation - editing screenshots and photos; applying effects
- Icon Editing - drawing clipart and logos with transparency
In version 3.3 of KDE, KolourPaint replaced KPaint as the standard simple painting application. It is shipped as part of the kdegraphics package.
KolourPaint can also run in desktop environments other than KDE, such as Xfce or GNOME, as well as window managers like Fluxbox. The prerequisite packages can be installed automatically. However, bug reports can only be filed if you are using KDE.
KolourPaint has a port to Microsoft Windows as part of the KDE on Windows Initiative.
