simple graphic editor for kde

I am looking for a QT app which offers basic graphic editing. Things i want is a eraser, text-tool and resize. Gimp is to complicated for my users.

There's always Mosfet's paint program. I forgot what's it's called.

Ok, thanks. Wasn't there a thread here a while back about Mosfet's programs being in KDE? I still like the GIMP. There should be a Qt app as powerful as the GIMP. We don't need programs like KIconEdit or whatever it is.

Wow, somebody actually does. KIconEdit is metioned somewhere near the middle of this article.

- KPaint does not have an eraser.
- pixie doesnt build on debian stable
- mosfetPaint is not ready
- KIconEdit seams only available for KDE2.2

I'm using KDE 3.1 on Mandrake 9.1 and KIconEdit is there.

What sort of image files are you trying to edit, move and change ? i.e. file format. *.bmp, *.gif, *.jpg, *.png , etc

mainly scanned drawings converted to ".jpg". Its actually unbelievable that there is no QT app which lets you edit graphics (I dont want much only a eraser and resize tool)

Maybe they need a GIMP Qt port? And then subproject of GIMP that's easier to use?

I agree.
Usability of the gimp seems to be the most often
cited problem that prevents home users from dumping their
(illegal ;-)) copy of Photoshop.
(In addition, professional users are missing CMYK support.)

The former could be fixed by a new (QT?) GUI. (The latter
seems to be impossible due to patent problems.)

Dunno how well the gimp developers have separated
gimp's core functionality from the GTK GUI...

There used to be a KDE-gui for Gimp, but after a 'fight' with the Gimp project (qt was not free in those days), the project was cancelled.

MORE MORE MORE

kolourpaint.sf.net will come out soon... is under development

there is an other one but i forgot the name... i might post it when i'm on my desk... got the name of it laying arround somewhere.

kolourpaint should eventually replace kpaint IMHO...

kpaint is GUI and code wise a gentle disaster.

cheers,

Koulourpaint is now in KDE's CVS (in kdenonbeta.)

KPaint will probably be replaced in KDE 4.

As for Krita (in KOffice), it seems that there is a new developer for it, so it goes forward here too.

Have a nice day!
