About LazPaint
LazPaint is an image editor in the spirit of PaintBrush and Paint.NET. It supports both raster and vector layers, so you can combine pixel painting with editable shapes in one document.
It is written in Lazarus (Free Pascal) and is open source on GitHub. Being cross-platform, it gives Paint.NET-style editing to people who are not on Windows, and suits users who want a lightweight editor rather than a large suite like GIMP.
Strengths
- Raster and vector layers in the same image
- Familiar Paint.NET-like approach
- Cross-platform and open source
Limitations
- Smaller community than GIMP or Krita
- Fewer advanced features than larger editors
