Excellent software! Very easy to use and nice features

Pros: This product is definately a step up from paint. The learning curve is almost non-existent. Very simple interface. Several choices for colors including color wheel, palettes, hsv and rgb. After I installed and started the program, I was able to immediately use my graphics tablet. Several choices of effects are a nice bonus. The ability to add plugins (via postings in the forum) is also another nice feature. No detectable viruses or spyware by windows live onecare or adaware. Overall, I am very impressed with this program. No problems with installation or use on windows xp. I have tried several graphics editing programs including photoshop, the gimp, deep paint, and painter. Paint.net has really grabbed my attention. I use it for freehand drawing with a graphics tablet and obsevered the same results as when I use a pencil and paper. If you are looking for a professional, high-end program, Paint.net is not it. If you are looking for a program that is a step up from paint and is easy to use, Paint.net is one of the programs you should try. I am very satisfied with it.
