image processingsoftware-recommendation
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and I need you to suggest me an application to make simple and quick drawings.
I need the application to support common image formats and allow me to quickly add text, crop, scale, flip, and rotate.
The tools that I would use would be: pencil, selection, polygons, lines, text, rectangles and circles.
A very simple image editor.
Pinta is a drawing/editing program modeled on Paint.NET. Its goal is to provide a simplified alternative to the GIMP for casual users.
Its features include:
See the website for the full list.
Another feature of Pinta is full history saving. Say you want to continue a work later on, keeping all the layers intact (so that you can add/remove them later on), you can save the file in .ora format. It preserves every edit you have made so that you can reverse the changes.
For Ubuntu versions up to 12.04 you need to add a PPA to install this and keep it updated:
Ubuntu 10.10, 11.04 & 11.10
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pinta-maintainers/pinta-stable/ubuntu
sudo apt-get update
Ubuntu 12.04
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pinta-maintainers/pinta-stable
sudo apt-get update
Run this command:
sudo apt-get install pinta
Once it is installed you can now use Pinta. Navigate to: Menu > Graphics > Pinta

Although it is open source published under the GNU GPL v3 license, it is not available in the repositories, and requires the addition of a ppa.
To install it, open a terminal and run these commands:
