  Strengths: This is what you need to work with images is an easy to understand piece of software.

  Weaknesses: I have not found any.

  Overall Evaluation: Developed by Microsoft for Windows Systems it was spun off as a separate project and the original developers are still tweeking the software and it just keeps getting better. The software is both for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. If you run a 64-bit OS this will load very large images and this program takes advantage of the 64-bit OS features. When I first got Vista 64-bit I looked for software made for the 64-bit OS and this was one of my first acquisitions. I was never happier and with Win7 it works just like a hand in a glove. If you want a powerhouse image manipulation program and you want it easy to use, this is your best choice.

  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!

  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.
