Freeware is a term used to describe programs that someone has created, but wants no credit for (in the form of money anyway). They simply do it for the joy of making people happy or something like that.
Name: Paint.Net Review
Category: Free software
Operating System: Windows XP and Vista
Difficulty: N/A
So what is it...?
From the author:
Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins.
It was intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows. However, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP.
What do you think Mr Blogger...?Well I like this program. It is fairly basic yet has all the features most users will need, lets face it we don't all need the millions of features of photoshop (or the price tag). With this program you can cut, crop, resize, rotate, adjust colours (or colors), and add effects until your heart is content. You will also find a few higher end features like the Red Eye Removal, Clone Stamp, Lasso Select, and Magic Wand. It even has support for layers!
It supports the most popular image formats--JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and others--but not super high resolution ones like RAW (whatever that means I hear you say!).
For what is is worth I use it as my main graphical editing tool and haven't come up against too many things I can't do. Lets face it the price is certainly right and it really is a no brainier if you are looking for a good graphical package! I love free stuff :-)
Where can I get it...?
You should head over to the publishers website and you can download it from there. You can also find out heaps more information about the product there.
Download Paint.Net
Make sure you download the current tested version not the beta - that means it is still in testing and may not run as smoothly!

I saw your blog while clicking Next Blog and thought a link to your site would make an excelent addition to my site. My real area of experteese is two way radio which includes cell phones and allowing people a link to computer technology would seem to be an excelent companion.
If you would like to add my link to your site I would appreciate it but even if you don't I still would like to have your permission to add your link to mine.
