About

Paint.NET is image and photo editing software for PCs that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is now maintained and developed by Rick Brewster. Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP. Paint.NET delivers a cost-effective alternative to pricey commercial software.

About

Pixen is a professional pixel art editor designed for working with low-resolution raster art, such as those 8-bit sprites found in old-school video games. Pixen packs all the tools pixel artists need in an intuitive, native interface including support for high zoom levels, animation editing, color palettes, and a lot more. Leverage Pixen's wide array of tools when composing pixel art: Pencil, Eraser, Brightness, Text, Eyedropper, Zoom, Rectangular Selection, Magic Wand, Lasso, Move, Fill, Line, Rectangle, and Ellipse. Take advantage of the flexibility layers provide when working with complex pixel art. Change opacity, blending modes, and more to compose creative effects. Use filters to adjust colors, create effects, and post-process your artwork. With Pixen, you can add and organize commonly-used colors into palettes. Pixen can even import and export color palettes in the Adobe Color Table, Microsoft Palette, JASC Palette, and GIMP Palette formats.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I have used this tool for over 10 years. While graphic design is not my area, I do some minor graphical work and editing for my projects and also utilize this tool to review in greater detail the work of my developers who focus on graphic assets. The software represents a great middle ground between simple editors such as MS Paint and paid for expensive tools like Adobe Photoshop. Compared to Adobe Photoshop two features I love is the ability to natively load .DDS files which is not natively supported in Photoshop. DDS files are heavily utilized in my projects, so this is a major benefit. The other is that Paint.Net while having less features, is much easier to use and has a much easier to learn user interface than Adobe Photoshop.

Cons

  • The software lacks some of the features of other more advanced image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop. That said, this is a freeware tool, and given Photoshop is not this is more than understandable.
