Paint.net just keeps getting better

I've noticed lately that paint.net is becoming quite a powerful little program.

In case you do not know of it, it's a GPL'ed paint program written in .net

What makes this so good are the features they add it that no one else seems to have.

One of those features is semi-transparent toolboxes. That's simply brilliant. I'm not joking here, that's one of the best things I ever saw in any sort of graphics program in years. Why doesn't photoshop do that?

Another really great feature is that the tool windows dock to the side of the screen. they don't change shape or form, but simply "sticks" to the side of the window. Seems kinda useless right? They stay docked while resizing the window. That's rather useful. Most apps (all?) with a tool window you can resize the main app, and the tool windows stay exactly where they are before the move. This ends all the problem with tool windows

Of course since this is a paint app it has all the basic painting tools, plus things like layers and filters. Currently it's a much better MS paint. It's no photoshop contender, but for simpler jobs this is a great tool

Get the 2.1 milestone build (or later) here

Picasa 2

For awhile now I've been using the great little photo organizer called picasa. It was nice. Not exactly the best thing ever, but I could easily sort though and view all my pictures form my digital camera


Now google came out with picasa 2.

All I can say is..wow

This new version is really amazing. Toms of features and more I keep discovering. It's very simple to use, and very powerfully!. I can even organize movies, just how cool is that?

So how much does this program cost? Nothing! It's free and beats any other image organizer IMHO
