Paint.NET - excellent
free replacement for MS PaintGuest Review from Brett:
MS Paint, the graphics application that comes bundled with
Windows Operating Systems is a quite basic package. It is adequate for
producing very simple graphics but not suitable for creating anything too
fancy.
However, there is an excellent free replacement for MS Paint that
offers much more sophisticated graphics manipulation capabilities.
Paint.NET looks a lot like MS Paint, but boasts advanced features such as
the ability to use layers, a number of built in effects, photo and image
adjustment options and a lot more.
Paint.net runs on Windows 2000, XP, or Server 2003 and is written
in the C# programming language.
