I recently recieved a new laptop.  And with any new computer you try to put as many tools on it as you can to do your job.  However, image/photo editing is one of those tools I usually forget about until I need to do something quick.  Then I go to Program Files and scan for PhotoShop….then I think, “Uh oh….I don’t have it.”    I have used Gimp but there is a major learning curve.  My co-worker Tavis Lovell mentioned, “Hey get Paint.net.  Its free and does a good job.”   I downloaded it; and within 10 minutes I accomplished my task of changing an image.  Paint.net is easy to use and similar to PhotoShop/Fireworks if you are familiar with these toolsets.    So feel free to go the website to try it out yourself.   http://www.getpaint.net/ 

I have also placed this tool under my Resources webpage on this blog.
