In this article, we check out the latest version and find out what’s new and how it works on Windows 10. Paint.NET has been around quite a while now and is actually premised on the idea of a modern Paint app at a time when Microsoft seemed to have no interest at all in updating the app. If and when they do, you might want to consider a third-party alternative that offers-and in some respects exceeds-Microsoft Paint in feature functionality, compatibility, and even extensibility.

We previously showed you how you can get back the old Paint app using a registry hack.
