- If you want perfection pay for it! Get photoshop.
If you want a free alternative to perfection get this and stop complaining
If you want an imitation of perfection get GIMP! -

- Paint.NET is awesome. Still no arrow tool, though. Dang...I was told by a developer on the forum that we'd see an arrow head option for the line tool "soon." I really could use that. Besides that Paint.NET is an awesome utility.

- The plan for the 3.xx releases is to drain a lot of the feature backlog we've accrued over the last 3 years. Since v4.00 is going to be an enormous effort (and therefore a long release schedule) this is a great time for us to do that. So ... don't worry, it's coming! I find myself needing that functionality too from time to time.

- All applications need to use Vista's new Open/Save dialogue. I love the search box! I hope many more apps do not forget that important detail.
New: In Windows Vista, the new-style Save/Open dialogs are used

- Now that I know how much the new PS CS3 is going to cost I think it's about time I jumped over to this.

- I already have Photoshop, but one day, I'll try this. One day!
Changes:
This is a minor update that adds a new effect, improves certain parts of the user interface, and fixes a few minor bugs.
* New: Pencil Sketch effect
* New: In Windows Vista, the new-style Save/Open dialogs are used
* Changed: The View->Units, Image->Flip, Image->Rotate, and Layers->Flip submenus have been "flattened" (their commands were moved out into the View, Image, Image, and Layers menus respectively)
* Improved: Download size reduced by about 300 KB by using PNGOUT
* Improved: Some uses of confusing "MessageBox" style dialogs have been changed to a much friendlier "TaskDialog" style interface
* Improved: When changing the language, Paint.NET can now restart itself automatically
* Improved: Performance for Move Selected Pixels tool for quad-core systems
* Removed: The "Clear History" button has been removed because it was not very useful
* Fixed: Sometimes the Colors window would get "lost" between sessions of Paint.NET
* Fixed: Stack-overflow crash when using certain effects, such as Gaussian Blur, on very large images with certain settings (such as a 200 pixel radius)
* Fixed: When cancelling the multi-image Unsaved Changes dialog, the input focus was sometimes confused
* Changed: Renamed PdnLib.dll to PaintDotNet.Core.dll
* Fixed: Very rare race condition in background thumbnail renderer
