Excellent free photo editing software
A lot of people have digital cameras of one sort or the other and a lot of pictures get taken. From what I’ve seen, quite a few of them could use some editing. Fortunately, there are some very useful free programs that are easy to use and have most features that an ordinary amateur photographer would need. Unless you are a more advanced enthusiast, there’s no point in paying for something like Adobe Photoshop Elements when free programs like Paint.NET are available. This program has just been updated and can be downloaded at http://www.getpaint.net/. Here’s some description:
Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers 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. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP.
