How To Install Pinta on Rocky Linux 9

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Pinta on Rocky Linux 9. APinta is a free, open-source bitmap image editor designed specifically for Linux (and other platforms) that provides simple yet powerful image editing capabilities. Inspired by the Windows-only Paint.NET application, Pinta serves as a lightweight alternative that bridges the gap between basic paint programs like MS Paint and complex editors like GIMP.

Pinta offers a comprehensive set of image editing tools while maintaining an emphasis on usability. The software includes:

• Unlimited undo history – tracks your complete editing history so you can always revert changes
• Layer support – unlike many simple editors, Pinta supports multiple layers for advanced editing
• Drawing tools – paintbrush, pencil, geometric shapes, lines, and selection tools
• Over 35 adjustments and effects – including color corrections, filters, artistic effects, and photo retouching tools like red-eye removal
• Multiple language support – available in over 55 languages
• Flexible workspace – customizable interface with dockable or floating toolbars
