is a
Free , easy-to-use
Raster Graphics Editor for the
K Desktop Environment .
It aims to be conceptually simple to understand, providing a level of functionality targeted towards the average user. KolourPaint is designed for daily tasks such as:
- Painting - drawing diagrams and "finger painting"
- Image Manipulation - editing screenshots and photos; applying effects
- Icon Editing - drawing clipart and logos with transparency
In version 3.3 of KDE, KolourPaint replaced KPaint as the standard simple painting application. It is shipped as part of the
Kdegraphics package.
KolourPaint can also run in desktop environments other than KDE, such as
Xfce and
GNOME , as well as window managers like
Fluxbox . The prerequisite packages can be installed automatically, and Kolourpaint only needs a small portion of KDE to run.
