What it does
Pinta is a simple, free drawing and image editing program modeled on Paint.NET. You can draw and paint, crop and resize photos, work with layers, undo many steps and apply effects and color adjustments. It is meant for everyday image edits rather than professional photo work. Ready-made downloads exist for Windows, Mac and Linux. The README says the Windows build is code-signed and that the program does not send information over the network unless you ask it to.
