Paint.NET is a powerful photos and graphics editing program with features including layers, blending, transparency, unlimited undo, numerous filters, magic wand, cloning and also offers a plugin architecture for third party extensibility. Paint.NET can genuinely offer a Photoshop alternative for free. The develop team just yesterday released the final version of 3.5, it’s the first version optimized for use on Windows 7. If you are already a Paint.NET user, you can update to the 3.5 version from within the application itself using the update feature, otherwise go to download directly from GetPaint.
