Paint.NET

Sat Nov 14, 2009, 10:04 PM
I was browsing GameFAQs today, and an article appeared at the top linking to some guy's page about 10 free Microsoft Products.

One of the items mentioned was Paint.NET, a freeware program that is somewhat similar to Photoshop. You can check it out here if you want.

I decided to give it a go, just out of curiosity. Honestly... I sort of like it. It isn't as fast as Photoshop and takes a bit of time to do things, except the initial start-up. Photoshop usually takes a minute or two; Paint.NET opens nearly instantly. At first glance though, it has less features... but that depends on you. You can visit the "Plug-ins Forum", and download a whole bunch of plug-ins to improve it... you can even find a plug-in that allows you to open and save Photoshop .PSD images. I haven't checked out that many of the other stuff, but so far, the program seems neato. The whole reason I obtained Photoshop CS4 was so I could have a shortcut for the rotating key... this thing has it already, so I don't even need CS4 (though I'll keep Photoshop 7... CS4 is too buggy on my computer anyway).

I am going to use it next time to draw something, and depending on how well I like it, I may switch to it. Then again, it all depends.

If you guys have ever wanted to draw stuff in Photoshop, but couldn't afford the money to buy it or didn't want to download it illegally, go for this program. I don't know how great it is so far... but it seems pretty cool.
