Probably the biggest if you are serious about using a paint and/or image editing program is that it does not support layers. Photoshop, Gimp, and the on-line Sumopaint all support layers. I also do not think it has masks; without layers it's kind of pointless to have masks. Paint.net is essentially a step or two up from Paint on your PC, but it is not a high-end or professional image editor. This is not to say you won't like it; it's quite popular and it is free.Limitations of paint.net software?
Whatever it's limitations you shouldn't complain because it's free anyway, unlike Photoshop which costs a small fortune.

Paint.net is (at least in our opinion) the simplest option on the list. It still comes with a ton of powerful features like layers, adjustments, and user-created plugins, but is simple enough that complete newcomers can grasp it immediately. The features are across the top, and filters are accessible from a drop-down menu.
ReplyDeleteSome of the special effects are pretty cool: sharpen, blur, distort, emboss, etc. You can even get some Instagram-esque vintage effects in there for good measure. We don’t want to waste too much time on this one. It’s got a lot of features, an easy interface, and a simple layout. If you’re struggling with others on this list, then stick with the easiest option.
