    You can edit pictures with iPhoto, which is part of Apple's iLife software. There is also a program called Seashore.

    If you don't mind using X11, you can install Gimp or Gimpshop, whuch are Photoshop alternatives.

    For a Paint alternative, there is Teal. For X11, there's a vector drawing program called Inkscape.



    You can find these at macupdate.com, or versiontracker.com/macosx .

    Pixen is hidden gem I found recently. It's an app that's more like MS Paint than any others I've seen on the Mac. It's also free which is cool.

    Thanks alot!!! I downloaded the software last night and I love it, its really easy to use and has a lot of feature that paint doesn't have, not to mention that it looks a lot nicer than paint



    I believe that Apple should offer this software on every Mac, I was a bit surprised not to find a Paint program to use when I got my first Mac 2 Months ago.



    Again thanks for the link
