I’m may take up some of the tutorials to try making my screenshots better, but I am not sure if I should stick with Irfanview.

    I’ve been using Paint.NET for a while now, and deemed it worthy enough to be included in our standard district XP image. My students love the ability to easily transform their photos, and I’ve seen some pretty wicked background designs they’ve made. Above all, the pricing is perfect.
