A great example of how good bloat-free apps can be. I actually have licences for Photoshop and Fireworks but since my last machine rebuild they've been sitting on the shelf! On it's own it's great for almost everything I do, and the Photoshop file import/export capability means I'm never stuck when I get files from designers to work with. It's quick, it's lightweight, it's stable and release 3.0 promises even more goodies. And priced free it's by far the best value. Coupled with something like the Gadwin Print-Screen for grabbing screen-shots it's part of my essential USB Key mounted toolkit (soon to be MojoPac mounted) I tried GIMP for a few months and found it to be slow and difficult to use. On the other hand my 7yo uses P.N! @ Bill.R - .net 2.0 framework is something you're going to have to have sooner or later... it's worth it for Paint.Net!

For fixing single photos, wallpaper, etc., I like Irfanview: http://www.download-zone-free.com/irfanview/ I’m leery of downloads that require more downloads (”If you do not have the .NET Framework installed, or if you are not sure, please download the following installer…”).

Nice program tho I lost it during a cleanup. I find my Paint Shop Pro install is still with me and easy to fall back into. GIMP has a few tools I use in rarer circumstances also. Pixia is a nice little program tho I'm not sure this is the official site it appears to be the right one. http://park18.wakwak.com/~pixia/ Had Paint.Net loaded for some time.

It's got all the power I need and I find it easier to use than Photoshop and the GIMP. I mean, 99% of my "photo editing" just involves cropping or resizing--two things that Paint.NET does exceedingly well. Paint.NET has been my primary graphic-editing tool for quite a while now.
