jfPaint

jfPaint is simple program that can help users with creating drawings. The software features numerous tools commonly employed in such projects, such as “Pencil”, “Fill”, “Curve” and “Rotate”.

Anyone who likes to draw will find this tool useful. Users should note, however, that generating realistic and complex pictures is beyond the capabilities of this program. That being said, the program is a great educational resource and can be particularly good when teaching children visual arts.

As one would expect with such a resource, the interface is streamlined for a very enjoyable user experience. Barring saving and loading, users can rely exclusively on the multiple buttons that adorn the topside of the main window. There are no tabs and all available menu items can be ignored altogether while the drawing is being created.

The current revision can only load three source file-types: PNG, BMP and JPG. Users are also free to create new images from scratch. Once a project has been started, the program features several resources that users can employ in order to customize their work.

For example, one can use the top-level buttons in order to generate lines, curves, boxes and circles. More advanced tools include the ability to adjust the transparency of objects, as well as to rotate pictures clockwise or counterclockwise.

Customizing the image foreground allows a high degree of freedom, as users can employ several color modes, such as HSV, HSL, RGB and CMYK. One of the great features is that the editor allows users to change the size of the picture.

JfPaint is an easy to grasp and flexible drawing application that can help users generate simple images.
