- "Don't 'shop it - Paint.NET it!"
- Version reviewed: Paint.NET 3.07
If you just want to retouch images a bit, Photoshop is overkill. Check out Paint.NET, an open-source freeware editor with all the essential tools, including those for cropping, rotating, resizing, adjusting colors, and creating collages.
Paint.NET supports the most popular image formats--JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and others--but not superhigh resolution ones like RAW. However, you'll find such basic effects as Red Eye Removal, Emboss, Mosaic, and Oil Painting, and a few higher-end features such as Clone Stamp, Lasso Select, and Magic Wand. Like a full-fledged graphics package, Paint.NET even supports layers and an actions manager. The interface is very convenient, and the panels are semitransparent, so you won't need to hide them.
Version 3 fixes many old quibbles. Multiple-image editing is done through a convenient thumbnail manager in the upper-right corner of the app; blurry tool icons have been sharpened as well. Paint.NET is far better than Microsoft Paint, and given its free price, it's a no-brainer for anyone who does a lot of minor graphical tweaking.

"The best lightweight image manipulation program"
Pros: Lightweight, nice interface with semitransparent toolbars, and lots of features. CAn handle most image files and it is also really fast.
Cons: No plugins to extend its features, but then it is not meant for professional use.

Version: Paint.NET 3.07
"Very professional, high-end package"
Pros: Better interface than Photoshop. Does almost everything a high end professional hardcore graphics engine does but free. A lot like Gimp, but without the crashes. Nearly all manipulations work within a selection too.
Cons: none

Version: Paint.NET 3.07
"Great for simple edits, easy to use and doesn't take forever to open"
Pros: I like the fact it opens up right away, a step up from MS paint, also when I do a screen dump, it asks me whether I want to expand the canvas. And all the tools are right there within sight. I like it.
