Looking for stripped-down paint program

[flylikeabird]

Hi there developers

I do home inspections and take lots of pics to put in my reports. I annotate them and highlight some of the problems that I find then put them in a program that generates .pdf files.

I've used the regular paint that comes with windows but I am looking to find an app that will allow me to do these tasks faster and more efficiently, something that is specifically designed to do what I need to do.

I don't need many functions, but the ones I need have to be set up in such a way as to improve my work flow. For instance any settings should be "sticky" so that they are the same each time that I open a pic. Also, when I save the file I want to just have the parameters set up before hand and save with one click (no dialog boxes or anything).

Paint.net is way more than I need but the fact that the code is available to developers interests me but I'm no programmer so I'm hoping to see if anyone out there is up for taking a crack at it.

This is for my business so I am prepared to pay for the service but we'll have to talk first to see if it would be within my budget.

If you are interested drop me an email and I'll get back to you with a more detailed description of the way I'l like to see this work

Thanks & happy new year

Mark
