Need an image editor? Try Paint.NET!

A lot of you have left feedback about some of the tools you use for creating graphics, thanks for that information, it helps quite a bit!

One thing that I wanted to try and do was let people know about a few low cost (or in this case free) tools that I've come across that I think are pretty handy. One of those is Paint.NET, which is a fairly complete solution for 2D texture or sprite generation. They've recently made their 3.0 Alpha release available on the Paint.NET website. You can also keep up with the latest development on Paint.NET by visiting Rick Brewster's Blog. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

If you're using Paint.Net with XNA you might be interested in this very nice DDS import/export plugin for Paint.Net.

Yes!  ever since I left my last job which, provided a photoshop license, I've been using paint.net.  Admittedly, I'm not the most advanced of PS users -- but it has done just about everything I've needed.  The extensibility model is fantastic so you can write any effect you might need ... good stuff :-)
