X. Are there any editors/paint-programs for xpm/GIF/TIFF/etc. image-formats?

1. xpaint, developed by David Koblas, is a incredibly versatile mono-bitmap and/or colour-pixmap editing tool. It features, among other things:
   • the usual paint operations:
     • Brushes, Spray paint, Pencil;
     • Lines, Arcs, Pattern Fill, Text;
     • Boxes, Circles, Polygons (filled and un-filled);
   • edit multiple images simultaneously and cut/copy/paste between them;
   • "Fatbits"/zooming;
   • on-line help facility;
   • built-in font-selector;
   • reading and writing of X11 bitmaps, PPM, GIF, XPM, and TIFF image-formats; SGI RGB format (SGI only);
   • writing PostScript;

   The latest version, 2.1.1, is available at: ftp://ftp.x.org:/contrib/applications/xpaint-2.1.1.tar.gz

   Xpaint 2.4.4, has been released by Torsten Martinsen. It has some nifty filters built-in and bug fixes.

2. pixmap, developed by Lionel Mallet, is an editor for XPM version 3.4 pixmap-format files, derived from Davor Matic's bitmap editor. It can be optionally be compiled with a Motif interface.

   The latest version, 2.6, is available at:

   ftp://ftp.x.org:/contrib/applications/pixmap/pixmap2.6.tar.gz

   ftp://avahi.inria.fr:/pub/pixmap/pixmap2.6.tar.gz

3. The Gimp, developed by Spencer Kimball & Peter Mattis, is an extensible (via third-party plug-ins) image manipulation tool, that out-features xpaint.

   The current version is 1.0 and available at:

   ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/

   It requires the GTK, available at:

   ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gtk/v1.0/

   or

   http://www.gimp.org/download.html

   There are 3 gimp related mailing majordomo lists available: gimp-user@scheme.xcf.berkeley.edu, gimp-developer@scheme.xcf.berkeley.edu, gimp-announce@scheme.xcf.berkeley.edu.
