Paint.Net
  • Simple, intuitive user interface
    Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately intuitive and quickly learnable without assistance. It is also designed to be immediately familiar to users of the original MS Paint software that comes with Windows.
  • Layers
    Usually only found on expensive or complicated professional software, layers form the basis for a rich image composition experience. You may think of them as a stack of transparency slides that, when viewed together at the same time, form one image.
  • Powerful Tools
    Paint.NET includes simple tools for drawing shapes, including an easy-to-user curve tool for drawing simple splines or Bezier curves. The facilities for creating and working with selections is powerful, yet still simple enough to be picked up quickly. Other powerful tools include the Magic Wand for selecting regions of similar color, and the Clone Stamp for copying or erasing portions of an image. There is also a simple text editor, a tool for zooming, and a Recolor tool.
  • Unlimited History
    Everybody makes mistakes, and everybody changes their mind. To accommodate this, every action you perform on an image is recorded in the History window and may be undone. Once you've undone an action, you can also redo it. The length of the history is only limited by available disk space.
  • Special Effects
    Many special effects are including for perfecting your images. Everything from blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, and embossing are included. Also included is our unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect (new for v2.5) that makes it very easy to add perspective and tilting.

    Adjustments are also included which help you tweak an image's brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and levels.
  • Open Source and Free
    Paint.NET is provided free-of-charge, and the source code (all 105,000 lines of it) is also available for free under generous licensing terms. The bulk of Paint.NET is written in C#, with only a small amount of code related to setup and shell-integration written in C++.

Paint.NET v3.5.2 Released January 4, 2010

Quote
Happy new year! Like I talked about last week, this update resolves some feature disparities in the Text tool between GDI (XP) and DirectWrite (Win7/Vista). It also improves overall performance, as well as the correctness and quality of the Move Selected Pixels tool, the Image->Resize function, and the Hue/Saturation adjustment. You can either use the built-in updater, or go to the website and download it. There’s no need to uninstall the old version; that will be taken care of automatically. Changes and fixes since v3.5.1: All font face variants (e.g., Arial vs. Arial Narrow) are now available with the Text tool in Win7/Vista with DirectWrite. Bitmap font types (e.g. Courier, Terminal, Fixedsys) are now available with the Text tool in Win7/Vista. Fixed some bad text kerning with the Text tool at small font sizes when antialiasing was turned off. For the Image->Resize function, the quality, correctness, and performance ...
