Free Resources from the Net for (Special) Education

Welcome to this Treasure Chest of Free Stuff.

Here is another free image manipulation program that is worth looking at. It could prove to be a valuable Productivity tool for you.

Paint.net (downloadable program) This is powerful free open source image and photo manipulation software. It was originally intended as a replacement for the basic “Paint” program that is a standard component of the Windows operating system. This program has an intuitive user interface that was designed to be easy to learn by anyone familiar with Paint or Photoshop. Still, this program is complex enough to be challenging for the neophyte. Fortunately, extensive online help files are available. In Paint.net, you can layer images and apply special effects. Multiple formats are also supported: PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, TGA, and TIFF. If you need a program to edit images, this may be what you are looking for. It is more than enough to get you started. For Paint.net, you need Windows 2000, XP, or Vista, and at least 128 MG of RAM. You can download the program from Paint.net. Before installing Paint.net, .NET Framework 2.0 must be installed on your computer. You can download this from the same site.

This program is designed to work in Windows only.
