I've always avoided Paint.Net because it's always required the
latest .Net runtime. It originally started out as a salespitch for .Net.
But since you made it so easy, I decided to download and give it
a try. :)
I mostly use PSP 5. I also have PSP16, but Corel made a mess
of it, bloating it with frivolous functions. For editing photos and
doing general graphics, PSP5 does most of what I need. Occasionally
I want to work with RAW photos and I use PSP/Aftershot Pro 16
for that.
I see RAW is not lincuded in Paint.Net's "all image types". And their
color picker is a mess. No settings menu... Oh, there it is. A gear
icon way over on the right. But there are almost no settings. And
someone opening that made the color picker go gray! OK, lets's
try restarting. I'll draw a rectangle. What could go wrong? Well,
there's no control window to set the color, line thickness, etc. Instead
I only see an idiotic History window that keeps telling me what I
just did. It seems that I just drew 2 blue rectangles. Coulda fooled me.
And why are there 100 shapes to choose from when I just wanted a
rectangle?
The whole thing is very much non-standard and non-intuitive.
The thing with graphics is that 95% of it is simple and the methods
have been around since the 90s. If someone wants to remove an
object from an image, make Lizzo look like she's not fat, make
Madonna look like she's not old, or make Gisele Bundchen look like
she has hips, Photoshop is tops. For basic graphics, something
like Paint.net is poorly designed overkill. And I doubt that it does much
of anything that Paint Shop Pro from 1999 can't do. These days most
of that functionality is a dime a dozen. The only major reason for a
graphics editor is to get an MDI window with layers and multiple undo.
Checking out Paint.Net was interesting, though. I've seen it talked
about for years now and never actually saw that pitiful excuse
for an interface before.
