If you want a free alternative to Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, and you don't want to figure out something weird like the GIMP, I would suggest trying Paint .NET.

It requires Win2k or XP with the newest .NET framework.

Here's a link to some screenies:

And here's a link to the download page:

I seriously recommend checking this out. I can't believe how awesome it is for the price (hint: free). It even has effects like PhotoShop and layers. Anyways, go download this sucka

Well take a screenshot then open it up in Photoshop and make it look gory. Then put on the Box Art.

Heh, no Jeku isn't involved with it's development.
I've been recommending alot of people to try it out, however I've not been putting it across as something they'll want to swap Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro for just quite yet.

While it is good, as with alot of University projects the current version is horribly power hungry, bloated, with a poor Interface Design and Features.

It will no doubt get much better when someone else takes the source and makes thier own variation and optimisations. Unfortunately while it is a typical example of what .NET can do, it is not a very good poser for the speed of it. Guess that is the problem when you use SOTA Hardware to design, program and test on.

I look forward to this a year down the line, but right now it isn't something you want to chuck away all your other software for, no matter the price.

I don't think anyone was ever suggesting it as a replacement for PS or PSP, more of an alternative for people that could never afford those programs in the first place.
