If you are looking for a free image and photo editor for Windows, I highly recommend downloading the free Paint.net version 3.5 which was just released! I don't use Paint.net, personally, but developers who do use it have lots of great things to say about it.
Some of the features in Paint.net include:
- Layers
- Special Effects: Blurring, Sharpening, Red-Eye Removal, Distortion, Noise, and Embossing
- Image Manipulation: Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation, Curves, and Levels
- Drawing Tools for Shapes, Splines, or Bezier Curves
- Basic Tools like Magic Wand, Eraser, Clone Stamp, Recolor, Text Editor, etc.
You can't help beat the image and photo editing features for FREE.
