There are not many free image editors that give you the features and useful tools of Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro and The GIMP, and run as light as feathers without hogging system resources.

Based on Microsoft .NET Framework, Paint.NET is a free digital photo editor for Windows that offers very useful and powerful tools for easy and quick photo editing. It comes with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects etc.
