Remember back in the day when apple gave Paint away on the orginal mac?

I switched over to M1 silcon mac, and just need a basic paint program to crop, add text, adjust text size and color. You know something that come with windows like MS paint.... So it's been awhile... can't seem to find a good basic editor. I'll be using google docs till I find something that is worth while.

What do you all use? Is it free? I suppose I don't mind paying a few bucks, even tho, I think apple should include a basic paint program with their hardware. I guess the greed is real at apple. No basic freebies.

Anyway, any idea's would be good!

Thanks!

I use Photoshop, but then I need that for work. Preview can do some basic things, but I'm sure you want something a little more advanced than that.

One option is Pixelmator Pro. It's a $50 one-time purchase and can do a lot of what Photoshop does.

I wouldn't say this is Apple's greed, as it hasn't had a paint app for a very long time. It's more just that drawing hasn't been a priority for a while. Although you might get away with doing some things in the Freeform collaboration app...
 
Thank you for your feedback, I'll take a look at pixelmator. I find I can do way more image editing on my phone than an apple laptop. I thought about installing parallels to run MS paint! lol
