Paint.NET is a .NET open source bitmap drawing and editing application. One of the main goals of the project is to provide a simple and easy to use application with an intuitive user interface. However, it packs features like any commercial program such as: layers, bezier/spline curve drawing and unlimited undo history. On top of that is has many filters that handles everything from blurring/sharpening to color control. Paint.NET requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
