paint.NET

Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for PCs that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins.



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 Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool.



Paint.NET is an alternative way of processing digital photos. Simple yet very versatile in terms of features and function, application users are enabled to access standard editing tools and have the freedom to explore and reinvent photos.



Like other commercial image editing software, Paint.NET can handle layers, apply filters and effects individually. Users can also make vector images and choose colors through a comprehensive color palette. It is a simple yet effective software for digital photo processing that actually works like a charm.



Key Features Include:
- Special effects tools include: blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, distortion, noise and embossing.
- 3D Rotate/Zoom effects make it very easy to add perspective and tilting.
- Image manipulation tools include: brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, curves, and levels. You can also convert an image to black and white, or sepia.

Language Support:
English, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, and Spanish.

System Requirements:
1. Minimum System
- Windows 7 SP1 or newer (including Windows 8, 8.1, and 10)
- 1GHz processor (dual-core recommended)
- 1GB of RAM

2. Paint.NET depends on Microsoft's .NET Framework 4.5, which is automatically installed if it isn't already on the system.

3. Paint.NET will automatically run in 64-bit mode if possible. You must have a 64-bit capable CPU and an x64 edition of Windows.

4. Paint.NET uses your hard drive to store temporary files related to undo/redo history. Because of this, actual disk space requirements will depend on the actions you perform on an image, and on the size of the image.

5. Paint.NET does not work on Windows RT.
