barkbark00 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Stumble across mention of Paint.NET on the web recently? Post your sighting here! Original post: Hidden Content: Popular Science Magazine Recently ran an article on their website about open source alternatives to Photoshop CS2 and Paint Shop Pro X. Although Gimp and Gimpshop kinda stole the spotlight in the article, a link was provided for Open Source Alternative ("A quick online guide to the best open source software.") where Paint.NET is duly listed as a viable alternative to the afore mentioned heavy hitters.

Wow. That's some heavy stretching there... Yeah. I guess I was trying to illustrate how I came to find Paint.NET on the OSALT website.

Rick Brewster Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Note that the trend is upward, and the two spikes represent roughly the time that 2.0 and 2.6 were released.

usedHONDA Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yeah, it's funny how they can spike ate any time: One. Two. Three. Funny, isn't it? EDIT: Even older than the PCWorld article, but still good to see. http://www.freeware-guide.com/month/07-06.html ANOTHER EDIT: For other less experienced users there is Paint.net, an amazingly sophisticated piece of work from computer science students at Washington State University. It's not quite as powerful as The Gimp but a lot easier to use and install. It's also getting better; the new V3 beta continues this product's impressive development record. However V2.x is only for Windows 2000 while V3 requires XP SP2.

Rick Brewster Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well, let's see if we can't get another spike, this time centered around February 1st. Digg ... Slashdot ... go!
