Paint.Net Freeware
polycounter lvl 19

gives commercial photo editing programs some serious competition, which is all the more impressive since it began as a classroom project. This free program was developed by a team of computer science students at Washington State University, under a partnership with Microsoft.
Paint.NET is still considered to be in the midst of development. Yet, its current version, the second beta release of 2.1 (Figure 1), is very usable, stable, and nimble for an application that was created by full-time students within a 40-week timespan. It includes many of the convenient tools you'd expect to find in a commercial photo editor or image paint program, such as red eye-removal, a clone stamp, and color replacer. At this stage, most of the features that the original Paint.NET developers wanted to put into the program have been implemented.
For many on the Paint.NET team, taking part in developing a photo editor was motivated by love of the commercial products which, in turn, affected how Paint.NET itself was designed.

Can't you just make one thread called "Freeware image editing applications" and post them both in there? It makes so much more sense.

PS: for 3 1\2 minutes i really thought i could get away with it, me posting 2 threads about 2 different program Sheeesh! Polycount felt like un-moderated
but still a cool project from students.
it would be cool if something like this came pre-installed on a windows system. Haha...MSPaint. HAHA.
