getpaint.net is the best freeware editing software out there. It runs a little slow sometimes but it can do pretty much whatever you need. It is up there with photoshop. I would rank it above most photo-editing software.

Thanks.
I wasn't sure if getpaint.net was the same as paint.net.
I do have it installed but seldom use it as most of the editing I do is for the web or monitor. I seldom print out images anymore. Irfanview seems to handle the simple stuff well enough and quickly.

I just opened up paint.net to see what version I have (2.7) and my firewall stopped an out going connection by paint.net to 'home'.
Does the new version still do that and what is the purpose?

Virtual Photographer has been described as "One of the best Photoshop plug-ins around". It works fine in other program, too, such as PaintShopPro, etc.

I've been using it for years and consider it to be absolutely brilliant! And it's totally free.

Paint.net "phones home" to check for updated versions.

You can turn it off in 2.7x by: File > Updates > un-check "Automatically check periodically".

Or in 3.3x by Help > Check for updates > Options > un-check Automatically check for newer versions of Paint.net.

This might be a stupid question, but how do you change the colour in Paint.NET? Like brush colour, font colour etc...

EDIt/ Nvm, got it on the colours window

I want to thank you for your help but my computer got wacked with a virus and had to be stripped and reprogramed by a local computer repair company. I don't know if that had anything to do with the photo program problem or not but I do want to thank. Ted
