Description :
In the series of free software to retouch photos, discover Paint.NET
At first developed for a university project, Paint.NET can take the place of your old Windows' Paint which begin to be dusty.
Its easiness of use and its options make it be a good application for novices who don't want to spend long time to retouch a photo.
For the confirmed users, Paint.NET is a very good complement of Photoshop or TheGimp. Although it doesn't replace these two famous applications, it can be used for your everyday tasks because it's very lighter and it opens very rapidly.
Here is a list of its main functionalities :
- Management of layers (as Photoshop or TheGimp)
- Chronological account of executed acts with the ability of come back
- Draw tools (Polygon, lines, curve, text...)
- Filters and effects (radial blur, sepia, red eyes deleting...)
- Management of the layer's opacity
In spite of its layers' management, there isn't PSD or XCF formats in view ! Of course Paint.NET uses basic formats (PNG, BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, TGA) but to save your layers, you must use the .PND format, the format peculiar to this software.
