Like Adobe Photoshop, Paint.NET can also apply adjustments to your images such as auto-levels, contrast, invert, colour levels, hues, posterize and many others. The community around this program is definitely a plus because users help users and provide tutorials and a growing list of addons, the addons make applying unique and cool effects easy as pie. If you're a Photoshop user who's used to using layers within a working document, then you won't be disappointed when using this freeware application because layers remain the foundation of Paint.NET along with applying filters and effects to specific layers. Despite the name, the two programs are not comparable at all.
It comes packed with all of the most essential tools needed in a modern image editing suite and completely blows Microsoft Paint out of the water. Paint.NET has got to be one of the nicest surprises for a freeware image editing program.
