Microsoft’s “Side-Project” Paint.Net Upgraded for Windows 7

Posted on May 20, 2009 by blakehandler
 
Paint.Net is free image and photo editing software featuring an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools.
 
Paint.Net originated as a Computer Science senior design project at Washington State University, and is still developed by the two alumni Rick Brewster and Tom Jackson who now work for Microsoft.
 
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.

    While it’s the "same" version — they recently added to their documentation that Paint.Net is compatible with Windows 7
