What is LazPaint?
LazPaint is a free and open image editor, like PaintBrush or Paint.Net, written in Lazarus (Free Pascal). Uses BGRABitmap library. LazPaint has features layers and transparency. It supports the format OpenRaster so it can interoperate with MyPaint, Gimp and Krita. LazPaint has been written with Lazarus / Free Pascal and BGRABitmap. Now Supporting: read/write of layered SVG (interoperates with Inkscape)
Recent updates add new extensions (oXo, cur, jpeg, tif, tga, webp, xpm), AS WELL as Qt5 support, ie detect system (dark) theme, etc.
Lazpaint: 32bit = 2.97mb & 64bit = 3.54mb (Install to PC, Copy Install location to USB, UPX pack, Done)
Its portable, if UPX packed its still able to run, Handles 16384x16384 images 100% in 64bit
* 16384x16384 images work in 32bit, BUT will be resampled to 8k, BUT WORK 100%
100% free, Portable
To my knowledge its *THE lightest full feature image editor* that can CREATE & EDIT a SVG/Vector image (not just edit one, like Free SVG Edit).
**Features in SHORT:**
- *ORA image format support < thats impressive
- Import 3D image object support
- 32Bit & 64Bit (works on Windows XP in tests)
- Handles 16384x16384 images with alpha & layer support (16K in 64bit, 8k resample in 32bit)
- Supports TIF, GIF, JPG, PCX, BMP, ICO, PNG, EMF, TGA, PSD, WMF, XFC, SVG and others
- no air, java or net framework required (thats rare at this size)
- Create & Edit vector images
- batch operations
- *In app RENDERING
- Photoshop like UI and shortcuts
- 100% free & Portable
*FOSS with Professional UI/Layout = If your a Krita or Paint.net user, you'll be right at home with Lazpaint
If Lazpaint was your only Raster/Vector Image editor, and you had a stand alone DDS exporter (DXTBmp, NVVT, MS Texconv, etc),.....You wouldnt be hurting for much
*No DDS image open/save/export support

It does with 100% what Fotografix can, plus "the best" parts of Paint.net/Krita can in 3mb!

Its portable, UPX packed ready to run, Handles 16384x16384 images 100% in 64bit
16384x16384 images work in 32bit but "fast actions, zooms" WILL crash 32bit version

[Edited by aazard, December 09] > found the in-app rendering tools, I'd never used them, VERY powerful effects (flame, ice, water, dirty, etc)
Works great on every platform, plenty of functions, open-source.
I didn't manage to do simple editing tasks, I personnaly prefer Paint.net
Was getting ready to write a review stating that I had managed to complete a simple editing task in an open source photo program without it crashing suddenly. But then BAM it crashed when I opened a menu item. Too bad!
If you paste an image into a layer, it offsets the placement of the image to the side and bottom then CROPS the rest of the image away, even once you move the pasted picture into frame. Maybe there is some mask that can be edited to get the rest of the picture back?? I have never seen behaviour like that in any editing program of any type. Did not investigate how to fix it since it crashed 20 seconds later.
You can only have one file open at a time. Kind of fun and retro eh.
On a Mac here.
IS SIMPLE POWERFULL AND VERY EASY,,, I LOVEIT
I tried to like this. It looked like a decent alternative to mspaint, which is what I was looking for. But I just became too frustrated with the UI. It'd probably be fine once you learn its quirks, but I'm looking for something intuitive.
