LazPaint is a free and open-source cross-platformLazPaint works on Linux, Windows and MacOS lightweight image editor with raster and vectorial layers created with Lazarus. The software aims at being simpler than GIMP,{{Cite web |url=http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/freesoftware/fr/lazpaint.htm |title=Review on about.com |access-date=2014-08-17 |archive-date=2016-08-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160803200158/http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/freesoftware/fr/lazpaint.htm |url-status=dead }} is an alternative to Paint.NET and is also similar to Paintbrush.{{cite web|url=https://itsfoss.com/lazpaint/|title=LazPaint: A Free & Open Source Paint.NET Alternative|first=Ankush|last=Das|work=It's FOSS|date=17 November 2020|access-date=28 November 2020}}{{cite web|url=http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/10/lazpaint-image-editor-similar-paint-net-paintbrush/|title=LazPaint – Raster Image Editor Similar to Paint.Net / PaintBrush|work=UbuntuHandbook|date=9 October 2020|access-date=28 November 2020}}

Rendering is done with antialiasing and gamma correction.[http://gyptis.net/upload/index.php?/topic/759-les-applications-du-mois-de-janvier/ gyptis.net apps of January 2014] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140819151334/http://gyptis.net/upload/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F759-les-applications-du-mois-de-janvier%2F |date=2014-08-19 }} It can read/write usual image formats[http://wiki.freepascal.org/LazPaint_File LazPaint File wiki]; flat images: Bmp, Gif, Ico/Cur, Jpeg, Pcx, Png, Svg, Tga, Tiff, WebP, Xpm, Xwd; layered images: Lzp, Ora, Pdn, oXo, Psd; raw images: dng, cr2, nef, arw... and interoperate with other layered editors via OpenRaster format.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUJUeIbpYDo Loading OpenRaster in LazPaint] (video)[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFEZpl15Rb4 Saving OpenRaster for Krita] (video) It also imports Paint.NET files (with their layer structure) and Photoshop files (as flattened images).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53UyjDI24kQ&list=PLC5C5CAB111B5D9DA&index=13 Video of importation of PSD file] Also, it can import 3D objects in Wavefront ({{mono|.obj}}) format. There are complex selection functions, various filters and rendering of textures.

Colorspace

Colors are stored in sRGB colorspace but drawing functions take into account gamma correction. There are many color manipulation functions such as shifting colors and colorizing.[http://www.mrflock.com/tutorial-fotografia/lazpaint-cambiare-colori-foto.html Mrflock: come cambiare i colori di una foto][http://www.rgdot.com/bl/2012/08/28/lazpaint-open-source-graphics-editor/ LazPaint review on rgdot.com] Since version 6, there is a curve adjustments function on RGBA channels and according to a corrected HSL colorspace.[http://www.chip.de/downloads/LazPaint_68558560.html Review on chip.de] This correction takes into account the gamma factor and also perceived lightness according to the hue.

Vector shapes

Since version 7, shapes are stored with vectorial information. Thus they are editable after they have been drawn and are rendered again in case of layer transform. Layers are converted when needed to raster or vector. If a tool like the pen is applied, the layer is rasterized and vectorial information becomes unavailable.

Filling can be a solid color, a gradient or a texture. It can apply to simple shapes, complex curves, text and shaded shapes.
