Improved: Visual fit-and-finish for the close / ?X? button on image thumbnails. Changed: The keyboard shortcut key for the Color Picker is now ?k?.

BlueFlame Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Thanks for the news. Paint.NET is free, powerful and supports windows x64 operating systems.

sb.net Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Paint.NET is really great but photoshop has things like unsharp mask which I use a lot.. still good for simple edits..

bangbang023 Veteran Posted August 13, 2007 Veteran Share Posted August 13, 2007 The comparisons to Photoshop need to stop. Paint.Net isn't meant to reach that level of editing. It's meant to be a quick editor with some advanced features. It's a small package with a lot of kick.

azz0r_wugg Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I use paint.net as I no longer have a fireworks license and find photoshop too complex. My only real gripe with the new build is there is no option to deselect, If I highlight something in Fireworks I can right click to deselect, in paint.net (from my experience) I have to drag quickly off the canvas to release and sometimes that drags things. Another pet peeve is text isn't editable, it becomes static once you hit enter, whereas fireworks lets you re-edit and remove it.

TruckWEB Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 The comparisons to Photoshop need to stop. Paint.Net isn't meant to reach that level of editing. It's meant to be a quick editor with some advanced features. It's a small package with a lot of kick. Right! But for most users, Paint.NET would be enough to kill Photoshop. Adobe is killing me only with the incredible :wacko: price of Photoshop CS3... And the complete Creative Suite is much, much worst. It's the BMW (read costly not quality) of software. In full honesty, that would be the kind of software that I would.... :shiftyninja: download and crack. But I don't, I gave some money to Paint.Net instead.
