I've been using Paint.Net for a while now. And I was curious to see if anyone else here was using it as well. Or at the very least share the link so anyone who is interested in having a free image editing program (unlike Photoshop which is quite expensive) could check it out.

"Paint.NET is image and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Server 2003. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools."

free download:
Paint.NET v2.63
3.35 MB, English and German
Released on June 4th, 2006

Paint.NET's official site - get the latest version:

The nice thing about this software is that it checks for the latest version automatically. I'm not a designer, so I'm not really biased toward Photoshop, nor do I really care too much about having a zillion special effects. Paint.net does everything I need for my web sites. And you can't beat the price.
Although donations are welcome...

Hope you find this helpful.

.NET, eeeewww.
Well, looks like a pretty cool program, but the Gimp is also free and open source, and I'd have to reccomend that to anyone too cheap to buy Photoshop.

Looks like another interesting free software, thank you cybernewsmaster. I'm bookmarking this page

Thanks. I'll try it out.
