point taken jbennet. I have finally got cs3 and it is pretty good. The interface has been cleaned up a bit. And some good new features have been added but I havent had much time to play yet 
Paint.net looks pretty impressive for freeware.
Looks better than GIMP atleast

GIMP is much better than Paint.NET, I think so, but the interface of GIMP is really really bad and I hate that it doesn't have a parent window. Paint.NET is much better with interface and easy to learn.
Anyway good to see you roryt after a long time.

A long time indeed but I'm glad to be back Yeh I didnt actually use paint.NET but last time I used link as you can probably tell it really annoyed me because everything is so hard!
Plus i used to do a lot in PSP so I would have though i'd be used to the interface of that by the looks of it.
GIMP is open source though isnt it?

Any programmers up for it?

I have to disagree with jbennet, the gimp is packed with features and useful ones too. There is no way paint.net even comes close.
"non-intuitive" really depends on how long you've been using it for. People say blender3d is non-intuitive but for me nothing else compares. =)
btw Welcome back roryt. Where ya been?

I knew someone would say that and yes you are also (of course) right and I just think that it is a real shame for GIMP that it is hard for new users to use. Someone needs to sort it out befoe it just gets to hard to use.
What are your views of the parent window imathwee?
