    I know alot, probably most people use photoshop, but I have been using paint.net off and on for the past 2 years.

    I was wondering if anybody else used it as well? :)

    I know the paint.net site has some more add ons and different effects to try, but anybody know of anywhere else to get them?

    I got my new laptop this summer after my old one got fried. I couldnt get all my old info, just a few things like luckily my itunes library, and a some old files.

    But all of my paint.net plugins and extra fonts and stuff like that were lost. I havent gone back and gotten the old ones I used to have, but I have been looking at them recently. I havent been able to find some of them, and it seems like the forum has slowed down a little?

    I use it too. I love it. I can't really afford photoshop, but it is way better than the regular paint that comes with a computer. I like a lot of the features it has.

    Nooo. XD I use Photoshop CS4, Paint Tool SAI and...paint. o.o Not usually paint though. Just for pixels. It's the best program for that. 8D
    In fact, I don't think I've ever used Paint.net before.. @___@;
    Photoshop is the best.<3 And PTS with the tablet, which I love 9:

    paint.net is old school. I haven't really used in recently but couple years back it was definitely useful for me in everyday use. I upgraded to photoshop though. D:

    Yeah, I have never really used photoshop before.

    Ive used PDN for awhile off and on, and Ive also used firefox before for school.

    I dont wanna pay the ridiculous amount of money it is for photoshop, and dont wanna download it otherwise at the time being xD

    Well I have hear little bit about it. But having no any type of experience about it. As I hear about it I think its easy than Photoshop to learn as well as to understand. As I want to know more about it and also want to know how old it is.

    If your looking for an alternative I usually use splashup it's a web based photo/image editor. It has a lot of cool features found in Photoshop. I'll include the link

    I use paint.net for really fast stuff, you don't ever really need photoshop unless you really make use of the more advanced features. Generally gimp/paint.net are more than enough for my purposes.
