Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software

Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins.
It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP.

Optical corrections

Correct all optical faults perfectly
Precisely correct the optical flaws for  hundreds of images in one click, thanks to  our extensive library of optical modules. All modules are designed in our laboratories based on very precise analyses of each camera-lens combination.
These corrections can also be adjusted manually. In particular, you can customize the settings for  sharpness, vignetting, distortion or chromatic aberration.

Geometrical corrections

Restore realism to your photos
Images of subjects on the edges of the view field are often magnified, distorted, or otherwise deformed. Only DxO Optics Pro offers corrections for anamorphosis volume that can restore correct shapes and proportions.
You also have access to tools to correct the vertical and horizontal perspectives in your images.

Optimization of exposure and contrast

Bring out the details in your photos
DxO Optics Pro integrates a technology for optimizing local and global exposure and contrast: each image area is dealt with separately while maintaining overall consistency.
Your image exposure is adjusted to restore a balance between dark and light areas. Local contrast is enhanced to bring out detail in shadows, which leaves you with a margin of error for exposure while shooting!
You can easily get a HDR image type from a single image file to retrieve information in burned or clipped  areas of the image. Simpy apply the preset "HDR" to obtain  the desired effect (realistic or artistic) and DxO Optics Pro will change your original image into a work of art!

Easy to use

Spend more time taking photos
DxO Optics Pro allows you to easily obtain images of unparalleled quality. The software automatically determines the best settings for each photo. You can process hundreds of images in just one click, with each individual photo corrected to achieve an optimal rendering.
With the help of the many presets available, you can apply the type of correction or rendering you desire for all your images. For example, for a night scene taken at high ISO sensitivity, use "High ISO - Noise Reduction" preset. If you want to improve the sharpness of the image, choose "Sharpen fine details". A whole list of presets is available for corrections to suit your images.

Interface and personalization

Software tailored to your needs
DxO Optics Pro software is easy to use. To correct your images, you follow four simple steps: select the images to be processed, choose the corrections to apply, start processing, and evaluate the result. Four tabs guide you through these steps.
To simplify your use, different workspaces are available depending on your level of technical knowledge: first steps, the essentials, power user, etc. You can also create your own workspace based on palettes that you habitually use.

Color controls

For photos with stand-out colors

You can set the white balance, vibrancy, and tone curve very precisely to obtain the rendering you desire.

Dust on your sensor can ruin a series of photos. With DxO Optics Pro, you can do once then store the dust correction, and apply it to an entire batch of photos. The dust disappears from all of your photos with just one click.
