HeliosPaint is a versatile image editor developed in Java, enhancing the classic Windows Paint with advanced features. It offers familiar drawing tools like pencil, paintbrush, line, fill, shapes, and text, each with enhanced functionalities. For instance, the line tool allows freehand strokes, point-to-point drawing, and bezier curves, with options to customize line type, ends, width, and connectors. HeliosPaint also provides powerful selection tools such as the magic wand, lasso, and marquee tool, along with capabilities to flip, rotate, resize, and focus images. It supports various output formats including JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG, PSD, TIF, and more, making it a comprehensive tool for all your image editing needs.

I think HeliosPaint is pretty solid! I started using it for graphic design. The tools are mostly intuitive, but sometimes I get confused about certain features. Still, I enjoy it and am seeing improvement in my work. Looking forward to updates!
