A Paintbrush Replacement

by on Jul 22, 2007 | 0 comments

I know I have been posting about Notepad replacements for quite some time, so today I am going to post about another Windows standard program replacement… this time Paintbrush.

Paint.NET is truly an awesome graphics program. It runs on the .NET platform and offers many significant features over Paintbrush. In fact, I think comparing it to Paintbrush would be an insult to Paint.NET. It does many of the most common graphics manipulations and supports the formats you would expect, but in a very intuitive and straight-forward way.

I, up until recently, used GIMP as my graphics program, but have since uninstalled it in favor of the more user friendly and practical Paint.NET. If you are looking for a free graphics program for Windows, Paint.NET is a fantastic choice.
