Need more features than the built-in Paint in Windows offers? Then take a look at Paint.NET.
In practice, this free program is a good alternative to programs such as Photoshop and GIMP. It is funny that Paint.NET started as a project at the time, with Microsoft playing a role as a mentor. We are now several years further and the program has been considerably expanded functionally and in terms of software. In addition, Paint.NET now also supports ARM64 processors, so you can run the program on a device like the Surface Pro X without losing performance.
In addition, the makers have worked with the developers of plugins to make them function better within the program as well. That also makes Paint.NET pleasant to use: if you need a specific function (for example for effects or image editing), you can in many cases go to the community, which regularly releases new plugins. The software uses tabs, so you can open multiple tabs (with images) side by side and switch between them.
