When it comes to cropping and editing your photographs, no matter how advanced the camera or experienced the photographer, a paint program may still be required to manually touch up certain images. Of course there are professional standard packages like Adobe’s Photoshop, however, such suites are not only expensive but are packed with features the average user would not use. There are plenty of commercial applications available, but updates are often infrequent.

Paint.NET 3.30 is a freeware photo editor and paint tool that is regularly updated. Although this is a free application, it ships with a number of advanced features that will enable a user to produce professional looking photographs.
