Brush is a raster image editor for Mac OS X. It aims to replace MacPaint, the image editor for the classic Mac OS released in 1988. It is also an alternative to MS Paint. It has basic raster image editing capabilities and a simple interface designed for ease of use. It exports as PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF. This app is also often used for pixel art because of its grid options, and is not made for large-scale images or GIMP or editing like Photoshop on images or photos.

Features and capabilities
These include a simple brush-based freehand drawing tool, an eraser tool, a pick tool, a hands-free spray app that applies a few pixels to an area, not just one, a filler, a "bomb" tool that cleans the page, line tool, curve tool, square, circle/oval, and round square tool, text tool, color selector/eyedropper, and zoom in/zoom out tool. Zooming will increase to 1600%, while zooming will only increase by 25%. There is a customized stroke size associated with brushes, erasers, and sprays. The size of stroke 1 has a width of 1 pixel, and the size of stroke 10 has a width of 19 pixels. The text tool allows users to choose from their computer font menu. Also, colors can be selected from the palette.
Brushes also include networking capabilities that show every pixel on the grid. This option really helps pixel artists.
This app includes invert color options, and crop-selected-area functions.
It can export all universal image formats such as PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, or TIFF (though like most apps, do not use application-specific formats like PSAI Photoshop or Paint Tool's SAI). 9.

Limitations
This application is pure 2D bitmap editor, and thus has no vector capability. It's also not designed for photo manipulation, and therefore has no advanced photo editing tools like saturation, exposure, sharpness, or color.
It also has restrictions that brushes, canned sprays, and erasers will not draw any color with opacity or transparency.
