Paint.NET forum paintdotnet.12.forumer.com
Paint.NET is free image editing and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools.
It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it.
Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing.
The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality.

Random April Thoughts
It’s April and we finally have some sun in Seattle and I haven’t posted in awhile.
Paint.NET runs pretty well with Parallels on my MacBook Pro, although there’s a few quirks to squash. Hmm … they have an affiliate program. I smell a revision to the System Requirements coming soon. Do you know how many requests [...]

Russian is coming to Paint.NET
Another great feature for the upcoming version 3.5 release: an official Russian translation! I think this should make 4.16% of the userbase very happy
