A new version of paint.net is out and its pretty slick. The interface is updated to look like office 2003 and the app itself is more stable and solid. .net framework 2.0 is required though.

Cool!

I havent tried paint.net, dont know what has been holding me back, maybe that I dont have .NET Framework because I am too lazy to get it and dont feel like I really need it.

But maybe I should give it a try, it is open-source. Under the MIT-license which is OSI-compliant.

Wonder if it works under Mono...

doesn't work under Mono. maybe it will but not perfectly since it was designed to run on Windows XP/Vista only.

also this wasn't a major release. this was just a port of 2.5 to the .NET Framework and a couple of bug fixes. the next version which is 3.0 or 2.7 will have a bunch of new features.

True, I ended up having to Google search for it however I've finally bookmarked the page. The obvious would of course be www.paint.net.

which redirects to www.warrenpaint.com

psst... Fileforum puts a link to the authors homepage. Which is why I didnt even think about posting it.

rridgely: if you look around that website, you'll find an interview with one of the developers of Paint.NET
