Paint.NET is image and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing. The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality.
Paint.NET is freeware, but the team is accepting donations here.
Reviewing 3.50.3450.236 Alpha (Jun 15, 2009)
"a bit underwhelming", really does sum this up.
Reviewing 3.50.3424.34110 Alpha (May 20, 2009)
A bit underwhelming to be honest. Seems like most of the improvements were under the hood, so to speak. Due to the long wait between versions, I expected more tools or things like re-editable text in this new version instead of new effects. It's still good, of course, but to the average user, there's not much added functionality than 3.36 and I dare say, you might even get less because your plugins will be broken. But then again, this is alpha so there should be an expectation of incompleteness and bugs.
Reviewing 3.50.3424.34110 Alpha (May 19, 2009)
The changelog still does not show a "magnetic lasso tool".
I will not even try this new version.
