Screw you Microsoft, I switched to Paint.net forever ago and I'll be long dead in the cold, cold grave before I recognize Missourah, I mean switch back to Paint.
Some other random company got the url "paint.net", so confusingly you need https://getpaint.net/ to download the product paint.net
For those unfamiliar, it's a free art program that's... idk 80% of what photoshop is? But you can install community-made plugins to add features (shoutout to Grim Color Reaper).
Also on their download page, you want this one:
If you do the microsoft link, you'll have to pay microsoft. For a free product. That microsoft doesn't own. Dafuq.The paid version from the microsoft store helps to support the product; however I suspect the devs will get more bang-per-buck if you DL the free version and make a direct donation at https://getpaint.net/donate.html
The developer of paint.net sells it on the Microsoft store to support the product. Not any different than buying an app through the App Store or Google play store.
It’s created by a Microsoft Engineer, not super surprising they leverage Microsoft tools to get paid.
TIL. Thanks for the info - I'll update my post.
You can also use winget to install it, if you're into package managers
winget install --id=dotPDNLLC.paintdotnet -e
That way you can still get semi-automatic updates
Paint.net is great but it doesn't even come close to 80% the functionality of photoshop. It's more like 10%. The plugins are interesting but fairly limited in what they can do.
I like to use paint.net for simple edits like cropping because of how lightweight it is, but as soon as I need to do any substantial image manipulation or drawing I'm opening photoshop. Paint.net will just hold you back. It doesn't support some of the most common and basic features like masks, brushes, the pen tool and gradients.
The single most historically aware yet still funny to the unaware joke that the Simpsons ever put out.
The url is actually getpaint.net
True, I was just saying the name.
I think is a bot it keeps saying that everytime somebody says "paint.net". If not a bot is a weird guy for sure because in context of some of the other messages it doesn't make sense to say that.
