    It's excellent for quick tasks such as resizing or cropping an image. Use this where Photoshop would be an overkill.

    I have been using Paint.Net for sometime, even though I have Photoshop, I sometimes use Paint.Net to do the little tasks I need when I don't want to have to open up Photoshop just to do one thing (I have a slow computer)

    Very easy to use. Slows down slightly went editing large photos, though 6mp camera images are a piece of cake. Would recoomend this as a alternative to paint, and to Photoshop.

    Great for when you need some advanced features but don't want to go for broke with Photoshop, or if you already have Paint.net starts up quicker and is smaller for those small jobs.

    very handy to have around, perhaps not enough features for a designer.. although if you do require more it does have a lot of user made tutorials and plugins to do some quite nice effects.

    Oh I'm running the beta 3.5 on my ancient XP machine and on Windows 7 and both work really well!

    It has a lot of functionality for the price, and works well. I prefer to use ACDSee tools for fast viewer and simple editing.

    It does what it claims. Basic editor, dont need it often. Prefer ACDSee, but hey! it is free.
