You can save images with a transparent background and simply drag and drop images onto the canvas for editing. You can crop, rotate and resize images, add arrows, open and import PSD files, PDF, AI and PS files. Patina is ideal for sketching ideas, drawing diagrams, illustrating a concept or just doodling. The brush strokes on the canvas in particular are fast, smooth and feel very realistic. There are no layers or tools to edit specific objects – in fact there are very few toolbars or pallets at all – it’s all about paintbrushes, colors and drawing. What we really like about Patina compared to other Paint apps on Mac is that it keeps things very simple and easy. Patina is extremely easy to use and has a more macOS style interface than most other Microsoft Paint alternatives on Mac that we’ve tried. Patina is an elegant equivalent to Microsoft Paint on Mac which is aimed at those that want something stylish, powerful but simple like MS Paint.įor the very modest fee of $2.99, you basically get a better version of MS Paint but with all the same features and more besides. Patina is a bitmap editor and drawing tool built specifically for Mac users.
Important Note: Patina is currently unavailable in the Mac App Store.
