Publisher's Description

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.

After all these years the interface is still slow to work with.

The day I can alter the properties of the layer in the layer interface without having to go to a separate dialog is the day Ill start using it near exclusively. Until then it just feels like a complete waste of code.

I have been using Paint.Net for years now. I have rolled it out to over 1000 users in our company with some extra addons, and it's been great. No hassles, no crashes and with a great modding community, there really is not much it cannot do. Keep up the great work !

4.5 / 5 stars from me, as it's true the menu couild use a little work. Still love it though.

5 stars. If you're still using XP give yourself 1 star, not this great app.

Editor is quite capable. Has some advanced functions, but it's useful only if you need them - rating 7/10.

Stil needs more attention for basic functionality user confort - rating 3/10.

Dependency on .NET 4.5.2 limits editor for Windows 7+ only.

Version 4.0 5168 is a password protected .zip archive. Any chance you could include the password so that it can actually be opened? It's kind of useless as is.

recent earlier versions were .net 3.5 , clearly stated on the download page.

3.55 betas - "Paint.NET v3.5.5 - Download, released on April 20th, 2010
This update fixes a bug when saving 8-bit images, improves layer composition and Gaussian Blur performance, and is now updated to support the new .NET Framework 4.0." framework 4 is in fact now a requirement.

Absolutely one of the top 10 pieces of free software ever.

Actually sbeckstead, Paint.NET is .net based, hence the ".NET" in the name.

Also I've been using this app for a while. Haven't found anything this can't do. The PSD plugin is lacking though. But thats not Paint.NET's fault.

Diam0nd>I hate .net languages and imho 99.9% of all net-based applications suck.
Your humble opinion is worthless as you obviously don't know what a .net language is and definitely didn't use the product as it's not even net based.

That being said your 5 stars are worth a grain of salt. It's a good product and deserves continuing.
