"Absolutely Fantastic!"
Pros: This is my first review (I hate doing these kinds of things, sorry), but I just had to add my two thrilled little cents. I'm pretty computer savvy, but some of the editing software available is so cluttered, mashed, and complicated it can actually cause me physical pain. Paint.NET is the opposite of all things wrong with these programs, and with a lot of software in general.
Its clean, adjustable interface; the ease of use on all of its functions; a learning curve similar to finger painting but with gorgeous results that can look professional-grade; and enough to satistfy both the novice and master in editing - I can't imagine needing much more!
A truely remarkable, fantastic program that gets nothing but love from me AND it's free(!!).
A huge thank you to all those involved in its creation!
Cons: It would be cool if it supported GIF, but I totally understand the reasons for not. I guess it's not really a "con" for me, anyway, but I know it's a bummer for some.
Also, I've noticed when using the Levels tool that if I hold the slider too long or do too many adjustments at one time the program will hang and crash (without being able to save). I've just treated that part with kid gloves and it's worked great. Please don't avoid PdN simply for that! It's an indespensable tool!
