MyPaint

There's no doubt about the popularity of image editors in terms of software options, by now. With Microsoft's own interpretation of this program, under the suggestive name Paint, there really is no surprise in the fact that multiple similar applications have surfaced in an attempt to offer an even better experience than what comes right out of the box with a Windows OS installation. MyPaint is one such application that has been created to offer a beefier version of the original Paint app.

Since the main idea behind this app is to understand what extra options or perks you're getting over other simpler renditions of the same formula, one must first launch it and observe the general layout it presents. As such, the user will immediately notice that an infinite canvas has been provided. Brushes are highly configurable, meaning the artist will have a greater sense of originality. The added full-screen mode prevents users from getting distracted by any number of adjacent activities or issues.

The best parts of such applications are those that are tailored for more advanced users. This means that options included for tablet support, 15-bit Rec 709 linear RGB colorspace, realistic pigment models, and the addition of multiple-layer support are elements that differentiate this application from the more simple renditions of the same formula. In other words, this program is designed for both basic and advanced users.

MyPaint is an application that provides users with a more refined experience for developing one's imagination and artistic style. The program works well and provides a stable foundation for anyone looking to improve one's skills and originality. Do keep in mind that you'll need some time to get adjusted to the user interface, seeing as options and perks are organized in a rather different way when compared to similar products.
