Looking for an alternative to Photoshop and GIMP? You're in luck - there's a new version of Paint.NET available, and it's a pretty significant upgrade over previous versions.

Version 3.5 sports a refreshed UI with a bunch of new icons, and if you're running Windows 7 or Vista, the developers say it's been enhanced for Aero and "glass."

Paint.NET has learned a few tricks with the newest release, including Surface Blur, Dents (Distort), and Crystallize (Distort). Russian translation has been tossed into the mix, and the whole shebang promises to be much snappier thanks to extensive optimizations to performance and memory usage.
