Paint X - Paint, Draw and Edit 4+

It’s alright, I guess. It’s a fairly primitive image editing tool, because of that, I recommend using it for minor editing, simple pictures, etc. The closest thing I can compare this to would be MSPaint. Certain things are slightly better while other things are slightly worse when compared to MSPaint. The drawing tools don’t have as much customization, although it does have antialiasing. One of the main problems with MSPaint is that most drawing tools lacked antialiasing. I’m currently working on sprite artwork, though, so I’d really like an option to disable it. Oh, and I’ve been having an annoying problem. When you use the pencil tool, it colors it unevenly. The colors are slightly off and since I’m working on sprite artwork, this is a pretty bad problem. The only way around this problem is to color only one pixel at a time which is pretty tedious. Since this is the lite version, it leaves a watermark that says “Created by Paint X” at the bottom of every picture you edit.

I got this app wanting to draw on my digital drawing pad. I really liked it, but there were a few issues. First, there weren’t enough brush sizes. I just couldn’t go as big as I wanted to. Also, sometimes the opacity would glitch and remain the same even when I told it to go lighter. Last, my main problem is that there are no layers. I really wanted layers and didn’t realize how hard it was to draw without them. All in all, it is a pretty decent app.

I was looking for an image editing app that had the basic tools and was comprehensible to the average person. I'm not a graphic designer, so most image editing apps are very confusing to me. This is just what I needed.

I agree with another reviewer that it's comparagle to MS Paint--also comparable to Gimp if you're familiar with that. They're all very simple but that's exactly what I needed.

The feature that I like the most is the intuitive way you can add a transparent background to an image or text to make it useable for layering on a flyer. I gladly purchased the full version to remove the watermark--and it was worth it.
