  • I want to know if it's free.Is it good?Will itg spread computer viruses?
  • Paint Dot Net is Free. It was designed as a University project, much like the C programming language itself. It was designed to be better than paint, not photoshop or paint shop. That said, it is getting better and better. It has always been easy to use. With plugins from the forum installed it gets a lot more interesting. Icon Export means I don't have to buy a seperate icon editor. Conditional Saturation plugin, I have never seen this anywhere else and is a valuable tool, use it to convert summer to autumn. It has become part of the install routine for any new computer I set up.
    There are, as far as I know, no viruses or spyware in this software, it is afterall endorsed by MS.
    Try it, it's free, don't uninstall it if you don't like it, you might just be able to use 1 effect or tool that no other program has, to get just the picture you need.
  • Yes, it is free. No, there are no virus' or spyware. Nothing even close. This is a really great program that does some things that others don't. I have Paint Shop Pro X, Gimp 2.2 and Paint.Net. I use ALL of them regularly.

    The biggest benefit of Paint.Net, (I believe), is its ease of use. It is very, very easy to learn how to do the basics with.

    Paint.Net is used extensively at WinCustomize.com to create skins, cursors etc.

    If you need a good graphics editor, that is easy to learn, this is it.

  • well been using it since inception , the last few releases have improved and cant be compared to photoshop about it features, but it can stand on its on ground for ease of use, flexibility and of course the price , also not to forget that some features you would do in photoshop would require 2 or 3 steps
    in paint.net only 1

    ask me what and i shall tell you no less than 10 tricks to spice up your day

    and just for the faint hearted ...you would rather have this than MS-paint on your PC anyday .!
  • how do i download paint into my computer
    thank you
  • I would highly recommend any person to download this amazing program. I have been using this for about 6 months and it has changed the was i do images and web sites. Since you can also get plug ins for it, you can do even more than photoshop. Yes of course photoshop is better but only because it takes less steps. Paint Dot New is the same it just takes layers and practice to get good but you can make images even like this from scratch

    the program is safe. The only viruses you may get is from a bad .dll file you might download as a plug in.
