Paint it .NET!!

So?? Do you like MS-Paint that comes bundled with Windows? Now most of you will say that MS-Paint just sucks & you don’t like it at all. :sick: Why? Obviously you’ve tasted what Photoshop or Fireworks or Corel Photopaint or PaintShop Pro or Illustrator or Freehand or Corel Draw or Gimp cooks for you.

Ok, I concede that these are far far superior tools than MS-Paint, but then can anyone bost of the fact that any of these tools is faster than MS-Paint? I doubt it, because having worked on all these(except Gimp), I know they are all slow. Sure they have features but they are slow!! That’s a trade-off that you’ve to make. Still, if you take a quick screenshot, what do you do? Open Photoshop or some other godzilla size application to paste the screenshot & save it? No I wouldn’t do that & you’ll certainly be the dumbest person around if you do that!!

Ok, lets cut the bullshit & get straight to the point. If you’ve not heard about it, then read it now, Paint.NET, a Paint application with a difference!! No, its not the new version of MS-Paint. The official website says

Paint.NET originated as a Computer Science senior design project during the Spring 2004 semester at Washington State University.

So, some people who’ve tried it say that its light & its fast(the download is just under 5MB if you notice). Its not as advanced as those other heavyweights but still it packs a punch. :tup: Its light, its fast, its got quite a number of essentials that an image editing package needs & its extendable if you know C#. Yes its written in C# & has a Plugin API for extending it. Also its an open-source project licensed under MIT License & the source code is available in C#.

So? Paint the town .NET baby!!!
