Paint.NET is a raster-based image editor created using the .NET Framework, for Windows.
The program was created in the spring of 2004 by undergraduate students as a computer science project. By May of 2006 the editor had been downloaded about 2 million times. Work on Paint.NET is now ongoing with two Microsoft employees who worked on the program during their studies at Washington State University.
Paint.NET can replace the standard image editors in Windows.
The main advantages of Paint.NET
- Large selection of different tools for painting, such as brushes and geometric shapes.
- Simultaneous work with several images.
- Working with layers.
- Image editing history which allows you to undo any changes made by the user and return to the selected work step.
- Easy to learn interface.
- Special filters and graphic effects.
Of course, this program does not compare to Photoshop, but nevertheless, it is perfect for everyday photo editing.
