Figure 21-15 shows an example of KPaint.
Start KPaint from either the desktop (from most KDE desktops, select Graphics???Paint Program)
or from a Terminal window (/usr/bin/kpaint&). Start with either a blank canvas or by opening
an image in one of the supported formats (File???Open, browse for a file, and then click OK). Look
in the /usr/share/backgrounds directory for graphics to try.

different formats, including MS Windows PCX format, Encapsulated PostScript image, MS
Windows icons, JPEG, PNG, PNM, TIFF, X bitmap, and X Window pixmap.
Using Scanners Driven by SANE
Software for using a scanner with Linux is being driven by an effort called Scanner Access Now
Easy (SANE). This effort hopes to standardize how device drivers for equipment such as scanners,
digital still cameras, and digital video cameras are created, as well as help simplify the interfaces for
applications that use those devices. SANE is now included with a variety of Linux distributions.
Someone wanting to use Linux as a publishing platform is generally interested in two issues about
scanners: which scanners are supported and which applications are available to use the scanners.
