Paint.net 3.5 Final
After using many different image and photo editors over the years including other free ones like GIMP but also commercial applications like Adobe Photoshop I discovered one that I have been using ever since. Paint.net is an image editor for the Windows operating system which combines the attributes that I value the most: Speed and Ease of use. Most of the other image editors that I tried out where slow to load and quite complex to use. Not so Paint.net which loads up almost as fast as the default Windows Paint application but offers a lot that Paint does not offer.
Is it comparable to Gimp or Adobe Photoshop? I honestly cannot say so and do not care the least. It allows me to do the image editing things that I need to do which are basic image manipulations, e.g. resizing, copying, pasting, and basic editing.
