Wow. I can’t believe it has been that long. I wonder how many people were victimized this whole time. Paint.net is a must have tool on windows.

paint.net is undeniably the best for quick image edits, it makes me genuinely happy they finally got this win after 22 yrs

One of the best tools and its quite fast: GIMP is very great, but if you want to some quick edits, Paint.NET is the best solution.
