Paint is a windows-only program. Try Paint.net (Not a website, it's the actual programs name, google it.)
but there is nothing that comes bundled with OSX that works like paint? nothing at all with that whole iLife crap? :p
There used to be but it's defunct now. There's always [url=http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net/]Paintbrush[/url]. [editline]01:28AM[/editline] [QUOTE=PieClock;23169235]Paint is a windows-only program.

Didn't think Paint.net was windows only. Sorry.
sounds like a troll. why the hell would you need paint?
Windows 7's Paint is pretty cool.
Aha didn't know OSX doesn't have any paint-like program. That's pretty shameful, I find myself using paint a lot to quickly copy or save and edit things.

And for screenshots, your press cmd+alt+4 for the whole screen or cmd+alt+3 for a selection or cmd+alt+3+spacebar for window selection. Press ctrl while doing the above and it saves it to clipboard, otherwise the desktop as a png
You download photoshop, durra. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Warez" - Greeman))[/highlight]
Another vote for paintbrush.

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;23175907]sounds like a troll. why the hell would you need paint?[/QUOTE] I have photoshop CS4, Paint.net and possibly gimp (if it is I haven't used it in a while) installed, and I still use MsPaint a fair bit.
If you just want screenshots, hold down "Command", "Shift" and "4" and either make a selection box or hit the space bar to take a screeny of the window and save it to the desktop as a PNG.
hehe, so which macfanboys rated me dumb?
Because you come here to get help and slag us off. Thats why

I do believe you're correct about control though.

I didn't even consider how old it was, my mistake :c. Note to self: Think before you act *moves note to trash bin*

I use Photoshop and Pixelmator; two excellent programs.
