Paint.net 3.5.11

Paint.net is a simple graphic design and photo editing tool that is probably more so known for its interface rather than its functionality. The developers of Paint.net have a take on interface design that is quite different than those of other design applications.

For starters, the application's tools are divided amongst the four corners of the it's window taking up precious screen real estate. But don't worry, you can see through them. Literally. The toolboxes are transparent. When you first start using it, it's annoying. The toolboxes take some getting used to as their somewhat obtrusive. But once you get used to them, you begin to appreciate them and begin to actually see through them - pun intended.

Aside of the design, the functionality if Paint.net is standard at best. It is what you've probably come to expect from a modern paint application especially with all that Gimp has to offer absolutely free. The days are gone where applications can give you a paintbrush and a pale to fill the page with color, bundle it with an operating system and package it with an operating system - even though Windows is still doing this; but I've got to be honest: I sometimes use the Windows paint application for quick crops on pictures (that part is still useful). I mean think about it: at this point, would you even use a paint application that didn't come with filters, effects, adjustments, or even plugins to access these tools? Exactly.

Go ahead and give Paint.net a try. You may fall in love with the interface.
