Resource Of The Week: Paint.Net

Today's resource of the week is Paint.Net. If you have Windows, you're probably familiar with the program that Microsft ships with Windows called "Paint." Paint is a minimal image editor that's so limited, it's a stretch to call it useful. Enter, Paint.Net.

Paint.Net was started by college student Rick Brewster as a free image editor that would greatly expand the usefulness of Paint as a replacement for that limited tool. It allows you to work with layers, transparencies, gradients, and a host of other powerful tools.

It's been compared to the big dogs like Photoshop, Gimp and Paint Shop Pro. It's also been rated well by industry editors. In fact, CNET gave it a 5 star rating. Personally, Paint.Net has been the default image editor I now use. Its interface is user friendly and its support community is robust. You can find easy to use tutorials and for the price--free--it's worth the download.

Paint.Net is an image editor that you can't go wrong with. In fact, every screenshot that you've seen me use lately has been created and edited with Paint.Net.
