Paint program for apple, Like to make a sprite

Okay. I've always want a good paint program (free, hopefully) for my Mac. PC users can use Paint but I, of corse can't. I mean something that you can upload pictures with and edit them and stuff. I have Tux paint. Its fun, but not what Im looking for cuz you can't really upload photos. For the few things I've made I can use scratch (the paint thing on it)to recolor pokemon and stuff, but my goal is to make a leetle and in terms of sizing and saving it so scratch paint thing cant work for that. Photoshop is toooooo expensive. Oh and I think I once tried Gimp and it kept crashing before it opened so I couldn't use it. Any sugestions?

Seashore ( http://seashore.sourceforge.net/The_Seasho...ject/About.html ) is similar to GIMP but uses native OS X codestuffs so it should be more stable.

Pixelmator ( http://www.pixelmator.com/ ) looks pretty good.

THANKS THANKS THANKS!

Pixelmator could't open on my computer for some reson and it was saying that it had no idea where to open and I was like in my dock of course but when I dragged it in there it went all Im so not opening for you .

But seashore is so amazing!


Thanks for the ideas! (oh and was I suposed to get the native codestuffs thing? It sorta confused me)

You should try PAINT.NET. I don't have the link right now, but just search up paint.net on your browser's search function and you can get it. My friend has it and she uses it all the time. She says it's really good.

Paint.NET, as the name implies, uses the Microsoft .NET framework. As such, it isn't exactly available for macs.

Whoops. Sorry. *shot* I fail.
