Blender can do that, and you can also paint on your models in 3D.
But of course that’s not included in the $00 price for Gnome Paint, you have to pay a whole lot extra $0000 for Blender.

Yeah, no, just downloaded and tried it, it requires a lot more fiddling than Paint does to accomplish the specified task.

"Has lots of features" is not always the same as "Is fit for a particular use case".
EDIT: The best part was after I wrote this post. It crashed when I selected the cursor tool. I'm sure this is less of an issue on non-Windows systems, but that's not the use case.Last edited by Niarbeht; 13 April 2017, 05:30 PM.

I would reach for Inkscape in this instance. Import the bitmap into a background layer, and I can draw vector markings on top of it, which can be easily added/removed, moved around, have their colour changed etc.
Any replacement needs to be pretty simple and straightforward.

Most people here appear to want simple screenshot annotation software, not paint applications.
The workflow being: take a screenshot straight into the application, add arrows, boxes, ovals, highlighter pen function, and text boxes (connected to arrows), ability to move around these annotations, save as png / share to email direct.
Plenty exist for Macs and presumably Windows.

I had a bit of luck with mtpaint after suggested in this thread but haven't used much yet.

I wouldn't mind an alternative to Gimp/Krita for simple things, but please, please don't make this another MS Paint from the 90s.Last edited by Azrael5; 08 April 2017, 06:32 AM.
