OT: What's the Mac equivalent of Microsoft Paint?

What's the Mac equivalent of Microsoft Paint?
It used to be MacPaint, but isn't that long gone?
Is it iLife? If so, in the specs I don't see any mention of
basic paint functions although maybe it has them.
Obviously I don't have a current Mac or I'd know the answer
to this.
Thanks.

A Mac equivalent to Microsoft's FrontPage?

I am new to Macs, and am looking for recommendations for an equivalent to Microsoft's obsolete FrontPage for constructing and maintaining a simple website (text and images). I have used FrontPage for many years, and like its simplicity since it's much like writing a Word document. I have no technical aspirations so it has to be as simple to use as possible! I also use FileZilla as the ftp.
Any help gratefully received.
Tony Williams

I have used Kompozer for a number of years and have found it satisfactory.
Best of luck.

Paint equivalent to MS Paint

I recently bought iMac 14.1. I would like to know is there paint for mac equivalent to MS Paint. before that I worked only in windows environment which looks more friendly environment. Earlier I used to take snapshot from website and modify it in Paint and use in word/powerpoint for my school project. However, in mac I didn't find similar app. can you let me know similar app in mac.

If all you need is markup on the screen shots, Preview can do that.

There are some lightweight drawing programs similar to paint, but I've never used them. Pixelmator is more high-end and quite good, but a bit overkill if the screenshot markup is all you want.

When I click "Edit Original" in the links panel it opens MICROSOFT PAINT!

When I click "Edit Original" with a jpeg selected in the links panel it opens Microsoft Paint! In Windows (7) the file association is Windows Picture Viewer (NOT Paint!) and in Bridge it is associated with Photoshop CC. In InDesign we have the option of choosing which program to edit linked files with. In Illustrator we are stuck with the astounding Paint! Why?? 17 versions and this still bugs me!

Thanks Mylenium.
I know how to change the default program associated with an extension (I would like to keep picture viewer as the default open option for JPG) but I don't know how I change the EDIT association (currently Paint for JPG) in Win 7.
And it would be much more useful if AI could just give us the option of setting defaults (as Bridge does) OR AI could just use Bridge's defaults OR give us an "Open with" option as in Indesign. So many possible solutions, I've feature-requested this on occasions since CS1, it works in other Adobe apps, so I can only think Adobe is wilfully ignoring this issue for Irritator.

Equivalent to MS Paint on Apple Software

Ref my recent cry for help in doing all my website work on my Apple. Many thanks for help so far - KOMPOZER as a subsititute for MS Frontpage seems excellent and a lot cheaper at nothing than Dreamweaver!
One last question. MS Paint meets my needs for working with gif, jpeg and bitmap images. Is there any equivalent to MS Paint on iWorks or iLife? Otherwise can you recommend a simple Apple programme?
Thanks again

Loading images using Microsoft Paint

Is there a way to make a servlet load an image using Microsoft Paint (on Windows) ?
I have a huge image that does not fit in the browser window and the client would like to see it without scrolling. .. and prefers to have this opened in Microsoft Paint. Scaling an image using widht/height is not preferred.
We can set the MIME type to image/gif for example... but, how can we tell the browser to load using a particular image-editing applciation?
Thank you.

Thanks for your response. It might work for bitmap images.
But my images are gifs and jpgegs.... I forgot to mention this in the initial post. Sorry about that.
I was looking for something like "application/mspaint" for the contentType rather than image/bmp

Photoshop Images Appear Darker Online and in Microsoft Paint ---- Help Please!

Hello, I have been losing my mind over this problem: Whenever I save images in Photoshop CS6, they appear darker and with more contrast online. I am using Windows 7 OS and have calibrated the monitor to the best of my abilities
NOTE: My Proof Setup is set at sRGB and my Color Settings are set at sRGB aswell. I Convert Images to the sRGB profile, and when I Save For Web & Devices, I make sure JPEG, optimized, and convert to sRGB are selected. My Preview is set for Internet Standard (sRGB).
The images look good in Photoshop and in Windows Photo Viewer, but when I upload them to the internet, they look very dark and hard on the eyes. They look like this when I check them on a Mac. Another weird thing is that when I open the same images in Microsoft Paint, they appear dark aswell, whereas those images looked good in Windows Photo Viewer and Photoshop.
Help would be much appreciated!

What version of Aperture are you using on your Tiger system?
I don't believe gamma settings changed from Tiger to Leopard (gamma 1.8) but they did change going to Snow Leopard (gamma 2.2). Since you're on Tiger, gamma may not be the reason for the difference, but it sounds plausible that you may have some settings using a different gamma in Tiger than on Leopard.

Is There Microsoft Paint For Mac ? Or A Substitute

I'm looking for something like a Microsoft paint application. I haven't found anything with which I could draw that easy, add pics, manipulate, write..., all of that since I've switched to Mac. Is there a similar program?

Look over this list of apps.

Mac equivalent to Microsoft OneNote?

I had no idea what forum to post, but here is my question...
Anyone know of a Mac equivalent to MS Office OneNote?
Taken from the Microsoft OneNote website...
"In its simplest form, OneNote is an electronic version of a paper notebook where you can write down notes, thoughts, ideas, scribbles, reminders, and all kinds of other information. Unlike the traditional document page format of other programs such as word-processing or spreadsheet programs, OneNote offers a free-form canvas where you can type, write, or draw notes in the form of text, graphics, and images wherever and however you want them."

You might check out the Devonthink Pro review at MacWorld. The article also mentions some other applications that are close to OneNote although there's really no specific replacement.

Any equivalent to MS Paint in Mac?

Hello to all,
I come from a windows background and am very familiar with the simple 'paint' application; I am searching for an equivalent app for my Mac. I have downloaded [free] 'paintbrush for Mac' from the internet but find that it does not have the tools which MS Paint has, and more importantly, I can work only with 2 colors...white an black. Can anyone point out to me any free download that allows me to work in color too?
FYI I do have Adobe photoshop but feel uncomfortable in trying to learn it! A personal 'irrational' dislike!

"This has layers in them [something which Photoshop also has and I am afraid of!] "
Why are you afraid of applications that use layers? Layers are one of the easier concepts of both drawing and painting apps to understand and use. Think of layers as multiple sheet of clear paper or thin sheets of clear plastic that you can draw or paint on. You can build up a drawing or painting by putting different elements on different layers. If you want to alter elements on a layer only that layer gets affected. If you don't alike what you did on a layer, you can erase an entire layer and start drawing or painting on that layer, again, or delete the layer entirely. You can, also, more easily move elements around on a layer more easily that having all the elements on a drawing or painting on one layer.
So, there's the quick tutorial about layers.
What type of diagrams are you drawing/painting?
There are, also, diagramming programs, that have make drawing simple geometric shapes easier to do and easier to move around and esier to edit and change their appaerance. If there is text within the shapes, both the shape and text moves as one unit, saving you from moving the shapes and text as separate elements.
Here are two diagramming apps for example

In Firefox, the RGB values are 50, 255, and 25. In Paint, they are 81, 171 and 67. These colors look quite different. I suspect Firefox is doing something with the
