If you were following our blog quite regularly then you must have noted that we shared a handsome number of freeware image editor and photo tools already. Although each and every one of then has different plus-point, one of the biggest downside of our previously featured PixBuilder, FotoSketcher, Fotosizer or SharpShot is they are not cross-platform. Means they do not support multiple OS. From that view, today we are featuring another photo editor tool called HeliosPaint which could be a worthy alternative to Windows’s Paint and works on Windows, Mac and Linux. HeliosPaint provides basic tools and simple effects as well as some common adjustments such as brightness, contrast and sharpness. Another plus-point of this application is it’s portable that means you need not to install it anywhere, simply run it. It has an interface similar to the Window’s default photo editor Paint – The only difference is it has much more tools then paint. You can create a new image or edit an existing one using this. The program has support for various formats such as BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, PSD, TGA, TIF and many others. More to read.
