Paint.NET is one of our favorite free image editors available for Windows.  While it does not have anywhere near the features of Adobe Photoshop, it does have many more features than Microsoft Paint.  So as a whole, we find it to be a very good (and very free) option for non-hardcore image editing.  Now there is an open-source program that seeks to mimic Paint.NET in appearance and features, while adding support for Mac OS X and Linux.

Pinta (which means Paint in Spanish) is literally almost a carbon copy of Paint.NET.  However, I mean that in the best way possible.  In other words, it is free, very useful, and easier to learn to use than Photoshop.  Those are admirable qualities to have.  Pinta is especially nice for those who use Ubuntu Linux and openSUSE, since there are special versions of Pinta for those platforms.
