Well, designers do. But for developers investing in something like Photoshop is overkill. To say more any investment in image editors is not easily justifiable if all you do with it is a couple of icons or small simple images once in a while.

This is where Paint.net shines. Sure it can’t compete with Photoshop on a high level (yet) but it does all developer needs plus a little more. Testimonial on the site says that someone actually uninstalled Photoshop for Paint.net. We have a dedicated “Photoshop computer” which was used by whoever needed to do a little graphics work. Well, in a month I have Paint.net on my machine I’ve done some images for SPAW2, a couple of buttons, a background image and I’ve never used our “photoshoputer” for this.

P.S.: I’m afraid that Paint.net will dissapoint me in a huge way now, when I praised it
