It's kind of slow, but it works.  I haven't used any other color painting
programs, so I don't know how it compares.  Someone wondered about its
color-gradient ability, and when I tried it, I was quite unimpressed (though
it might be hard to do better on a 256-color Mac).

Choosing colors is a little confusing; a careful read through the manual is
a necessity, which seems out of place in a Mac product :-).
