GIMP has a lot more features then paint.NET. Paint.NET is much easier to use.





After having tried Photoshop you will need to get used to the GIMP interface and the fact that the same features are all named a bit differently. But once you do it's worth it. Especially since the interface will get better in the upcoming release. Currently it will open 3 windows, basically two docks and one window with the menu. It will be one window in the next version.





Some people may recommend GIMPshop to you. Don't bother, it's based on an old version and you're better of just spending a little bit more time learning the up to date version.





That said, make sure you install version 2.6.7. This is the latest stable release.

Gimp is the closest thing to Photoshop when it comes to features and capabilities. Paint.net is still pretty basic, but it is very easy to use. In its current version, it supports Layers (as does Photoshop and Gimp), which is really useful. I use Paint.net at work for basic editing of screen shots, and I really like it. But if you want something with a wider range of options, then you want the Gimp.





Do be aware that the Gimp's interface is different from Photoshop's. However, there's a huge community of Gimp users with forums and discussion groups and lots of shared info to help you learn how to use it. It is the free alternative to Photoshop that even some professionals use.
