| Tyler’s goals for mtPaint included that it be fast, simple and lightweight, so it could be run on older hardware. He wrote it in "C" and using GTK1-2, an interface it retains today. That gives it a bit of a “dated” look, but it does have low resource requirements.** | Tyler’s goals for mtPaint included that it be fast, simple and lightweight, so it could be run on older hardware.

| | Histoire |
| | |
| | mtPaint a été commencé par un programmeur britannique, Mark Tyler, comme projet personnel en 2004. Il voulait un éditeur graphique pour son propre usage, et il décida en suite de la partager comme logiciel libre. sous licence GNU General Public License. Il commença son projet le 7 août 2204 et fît la première publication publique 37 jours plus tard., le 13 septembre 2004. Tyler a attribué son développement rapide au fait qu'il avait étudié mhWaveEdit, qui était écrit par Magnus Hjorth. |
| | |
| | Les objectifs de Tyler pour mtPaint omprenaient la rapidité, la simplicité et la légèreté, de sorte qu'il puisse tournéer sur des vieux matériels. Il l'écrivit en « C » en utilisant GTK1-2, une interface qu'il arbore encore aujourd'hui. Ça lui donne un air « daté », mais elle a peu d'exigences en ressources. |
| |
| **Following the first release, version 0.23, Tyler quickly added more features including Windows support following version 0.30. Layers were included in version 2.00. Version 3.00 brought channels, including coding contributions by Dmitry Groshev who wrote the coding for the alpha (transparency), selection and mask channels. | **Following the first release, version 0.23, Tyler quickly added more features including Windows support following version 0.30.

| | À ka suite de al première publication, la version 0.23, Tyler lui ajouta rapidement d'autres fonctionnalités , comprenant le support de Windows à partir de la version 0.30. Les calques furent inclus dans la version 2.0, la version 3.0 apporta les canaux, avec la contribution du code de Dmitry Groshev qui écrivit le code pour les canaux alpha (transparence), de sélection et des masques. |
| | |
| | C'est à moment-là, en 2008, que Tyler termina son travail sur mtPaint pour se consacrer à d'autres projets logiciels et Groshev devint le développeur en chef, un rôle qu'il a encore aujourd'hui. |

| **The most recent release of mtPaint is version 3.40, which dates to 30 December, 2011. It isn't "abandonware", it just seems to have reached a point where no new features are needed, at least for now. At some point, it will probably need the interface rewritten using GTK3 or Qt to modernize it for ongoing use. Meanwhile, it still works well. | **The most recent release of mtPaint is version 3.40, which dates to 30 December, 2011.

| | La publication la plus récente de mtPaint est la version 3.4, qui date du 30 décembre 2011. Ce n'est pas un « logiciel abandonné » ; il semble juste avoir atteint un point où aucune nouvelle fonctionnalité n'est nécessaire, pour le moment du moins. D'une certaine mamière, il aurait besoin qque l'interface soit réécrite en utilisant GTK3 ou Qt pour la moderniser pour une utilisation régulière. en attendant, elle fonctionne bien. |
| | |
| | mtPaint a aussi été incluse comme application par défaut dans un certain nombre de distributions Linux comme Puppy Linux. Elle a aussi été incluse dans dans Lubuntu jusqu'à Lubuntu 18.10 - au passage des applications GTK vers des applications basées sur Qt. mtPaint peut encore être installée sur Lubuntu ou d'autres saveurs d'Ubuntu. |

| It supports cutting and pasting, scaling and resizing, rotation including arbitrary rotation, inverting colors, grayscale and a range of filters, like sharpen, unsharp mask, soften, Gaussian blur, emboss and "bacteria". Images open full-sized, but can be zoomed from 10% to 2000% for working on them. It has 100 possible layers and 81 included brush shapes, although custom shapes can be defined, too. It comes with a large collection of built-in keyboard shortcuts, too, which makes quick work of repeated editing actions.** | It supports cutting and pasting, scaling and resizing, rotation including arbitrary rotation, inverting colors, grayscale and a range of filters, like sharpen, unsharp mask, soften, Gaussian blur, emboss and "bacteria".

| | Fonctionnalités |
| | |
| | Tout en étant simple et légère, mtPaint comprend tous les outils dont la plupart des utilisateurs ont besoin pour créer des dessins et modifier des photos. mtPaint supporte un bon nombre de formats à l'import comme à l'export : BMP, GIF, JPEG, LSS, PNG, TGA, TIFF, XPM et XBM. |
| | |
| | Elle supporte la coupe et le collage, la changement d'échelle et le redimensionnement, la rotation , y compris la rotation arbitraire, l'inversion des couleurs, les échelles de gris et un ensemble de filtres, pour la netteté, le masque de floutage, l'adoucissement, le flou gaussien, l'embossage et la « bactérie ». Les images s'ouvrent en plein échelle, mais peuvent être zoomées de 10 à 2000 % pour travailler dessus. Elle dispose de 100 calques possibles et 81 formes de brosses incluses, bien que des formes personnalisées puissent être aussi définies. Elle aussi vient avec une grande collection de raccourcis clavier intégrés qui accélèrent le travail et les modifications répétées. |

| **It is not easy to figure out how to use mtPaint on your own (it has low "discoverability"). It has some odd quirks that are different from other image editors. For instance, when you cut and paste one image onto another, mtPaint won't "stick" (commit it) until you hit "return" or right-click. | **It is not easy to figure out how to use mtPaint on your own (it has low "discoverability").

| |
| Cropping an image is also unconventional. Instead of marqueeing the portion and then copying and pasting it into a new window, on mtPaint you marquee the portion you want and then hit "delete", the rest disappears and the cropped image is ready to be saved. Easy, when you know how!** | Cropping an image is also unconventional.

| | Ce n'est pas facile de découvrir par vous-même comment utiliser mtPaint(elle a une faible « discovérabilité »). Elle quelques bizarreries étranges qui sont différentes des autres éditeurs d'image. Par exemple, quand vous copiez/collez une image sur une autre, mtPaint ne la « collera » pas (engagez-la) jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez Entrée ou un clic droit. |
| | |
| | Le découpage d'une image n'est pas conventionnel. Au lieu de marquer la zone puis de la copier/coller dans une nouvelle fenêtre, sur mtPaint, vous marquez la zone que vous voulez puis vous appuyez sur « delete » (effacer). Le reste disparaît et l'image découpée est prête à être sauvegardée. Facile, quand vous le savez ! |

| **To help new users learn their application, mtPaint has a pretty good user manual, which Groshev recommends reading. He wrote that mtPaint's features "may look opaque to users who do not like to read docs; but not everything in image processing can be made self-explanatory, particularly if one tries to keep the program small. Those features which aren't obvious, have explanations in the handbook; time spent looking them up will be well rewarded by not wasting time on learning things by trial and error." Some users have also written on-line tutorials, all of which are useful.** | **To help new users learn their application, mtPaint has a pretty good user manual, which Groshev recommends reading.
