That's quite a statement. I would only say it with the following qualifiers:
Paint.NET is by far the best free picture editor I've seen for Windows.
I've seen plenty of non-free (some very affordable, some less so) editors for Mac and Windows that are way better than Paint.NET.
- qwerty456127 9y agoI have never seen any picture editor, free or non-free that I (not a graphics professional, just a webmaster) would enjoy using nearly as much as I enjoy using Paint.NET. Photoshop looks notably more stylish (Paint.NET looks great too, GIMP looks mediocre from the aesthetical point of view) and feels a little bit more intuitive than GIMP yet still very hard to use until you spend days-weeks-months studying it and gaining experience. Paint.NET is 100% intuitive, no need to study, you just use it, looks great, feels convenient and does almost (for some things I actually use GIMP occasionally) everything I ever need quick-and-easy. The fact it is free is an amazing bonus to such a great product.
- slantyyz 9y agoI am not a graphics professional either, and in the past couple of years, I've started to dislike Paint.NET a lot (I was a huge fan in the early days). These are, off the top of my head, what I consider to better than Paint.NET: Mac - Acorn, Pixelmator, Affinity Photo Windows - Affinity Photo If you're just doing simple edits en masse to images (crops and simple adjustments), then I would bypass an app like Paint.NET altogether and say these are better/easier: Mac - iPhoto, Photos, Aperture, Any Lightroom Clone (there are many) Windows - PhotoDirector, ACDSee, Any Lightroom Clone (there are many)
