The latest version of Paint.NET has been released — it’s not quite Photoshop, but it’s free and it’s got a better UI (and is more usable) than GIMP. It’s got a tonne of features, and has a wide variety of plugins to support it.

Here is another attempt at HDR — this is a statue of President James Garfield, the first president from Ohio.
