Is there a paint like program that comes with mac?

[busterbluth]

I just switched over from PC, and I took a screen shot from safari. How do I paste this picture in a program and paste it. I did the shift-cmd-3 function which should save it as a file. Where is the file located? I noticed that there is no paint like program, or am I missing something. help!

It should be saved on your desktop as Picture n.[jpg|png]

Not exactly sure what you need, but this looks like a good paint app.

This is not true. iPhoto is quite adept at editing raster graphics files. However, I strongly recommend GraphicConverter. It is not free, but it is well worth the price. If you are poor or just a cheapskate, then GC is fully functional even if you don't pay the shareware fee.

If you want the best you can get for free, go with the GIMP (www.gimp.org for details.)

To get GIMP for OS X, check out this site: http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Overview.html

Grab

You can use Grab (You'll find it in the Utilities-Folder) to save screenshots as pictures.

No.

But there are many free ones available. Do a search. Try MacUpdate. Apple Downloads. Etc.

Yeah, GIMP is good. Give it a try.
It used to be X11 only, but it looks like that's changed(?).

Macs have an annoying gap in software for sub-$100 pixel editors. To get going, try Seashore or GIMP. Seashore is basically Paint for the Mac.

For a reasonable price, there are now Pixelmator and Acorn. I have Pixelmator, though I've not used it in a few months. Last I tried, they were adequate graphics editors, though still substantially behind Windows software from 10 years ago. But they continue to improve, and might meet your needs.

Thanks for all the replies. I felt like an idiot when I minimized all my windows and saw 18 pictures sitting on the desktop. Either way, it seams off there isn't a basic picture creator/editor program included. I guess for every thousand aspects of mac I like better than PC, there had to be a few I didnt like.
