Publisher review:KolourPaint is a free, easy-to-use paint program for KDE (a desktop environment for UNIX). KolourPaint is a free, easy-to-use paint program for KDE (a desktop environment for UNIX). It aims to be conceptually simple to understand; providing a level of functionality targeted towards the average user.
KolourPaint is designed for daily tasks like: -Painting - drawing diagrams and "finger painting" -Image Manipulation - editing screenshots and photos; applying effects -Icon Editing - drawing clipart and logos with transparency -It's not an unusable and monolithic program where simple tasks like drawing lines become near impossible. Nor is it so simple that it lacks essential features like Undo/Redo. The main difference between KolourPaint and most other "simple" UNIX paint programs is that KolourPaint actually works. KolourPaint is opensource software written in C using the Qt and KDE libraries. It is developed in the KDE SVN repository and is shipped with KDE releases.
