i.Mage is a small and fast graphics editor slanted towards quick and easy pixel editing, ala DPaint from the DOS/Amiga days. It is not designed to compete with the other graphics programs out there, there are plenty that do a much better job than i.Mage. However it starts in under a second and it does a lot of the mundane jobs of image editing quickly and without fuss.
