Editorial Review of Paint.NET

When I need drawing tools and other advanced capabilities, nothing beats Paint.NET.

Don't let the Web-oriented name fool you: this is a powerful image-editing program, one stuffed with Photoshop-quality features like layers, special effects, and plug-ins. The just-released 3.5 version of Paint.NET adds an updated user interface, new effects, improved startup performance, and a long list of tweaks and fixes. Best of all, it's absolutely free.

I'm perpetually amazed that you can get software this powerful that doesn't cost a dime. Consequently, I think using Paint.NET is a no-brainer for any user looking to edit, enhance, and otherwise modify images without spending crazy bucks on Photoshop. Bottom line: If you want to edit images, get Paint.NET.

Description of Paint.NET

For everyday image-tweaking chores--cropping, resizing, and the like--I use IrfanView, one of my all-time favorite freeware apps. But when I need drawing tools and other advanced capabilities, nothing beats Paint.NET. Don't let the Web-oriented name fool you: this is a powerful image-editing program, one stuffed with Photoshop-quality features like layers, special effects, and plug-ins. Best of all, it's absolutely free. Consequently, I think it's a no-brainer for any user looking to edit, enhance, and otherwise modify images without spending crazy bucks on Photoshop. The just-released 3.5 version of Paint.NET adds an updated user interface, new effects, improved startup performance, and a long list of tweaks and fixes. To use it, you'll need Windows XP, Vista, or 7, and Microsoft's .NET Framework 3.5. I'm perpetually amazed that you can get software this powerful that doesn't cost a dime. Bottom line: If you want to edit images, get Paint.NET.

Duration of ownership: 10 Months

Strengths: Everything. Its user interface, performance, effects, tools, support for layers, size, file support, and troubleshooting forum. All of Paint.NET's features work in beautiful harmony.

Weaknesses: Absolutely Nothing.

Overall Evaluation: I love Paint.NET. It has all of the features you need in a small but powerful package. Once upon a time [about a year ago], I was a GIMP user. It was a decent editor, but I only used it a few times until I got fed up with it's horrible user interface and slow performance. Once I started using Paint.NET, I got more and more into image editing. Now I'm addicted to it. I've never loved a computer program as much as I do Paint.NET-- not even for Firefox. Sing the praises of Paint.NET!

Duration of ownership: 1 Years

Strengths: This open-source graphics application does much, much more than MS Windows Paint. I call it the poor man's Photoshop. It's relatively simple and fun to use. There is a large community of experienced users that keep adding to the product.
