I use Photoshop for most all my graphics work, however I tend to keep an eye out for programs to install on friend PC’s and also on bacup machines. Well one tool that I’ve likened to Paint on steriods just released a new version,
Paint.NET v2.6
Released: February 24th, 2006 – DownloadThis release is an upgrade of v2.5 that utilizes the brand new .NET Framework v2.0 runtime. It introduces full 64-bit support, an aesthetically updated user interface, better performance, a new “Curves” adjustment, and seven new layer blend modes.
What’s new in Paint.NET v2.6?
