I am an extreme novice photographer. I definately cannot plunk down $1000 on Photoshop, but I noticed a free site called Paint.NET. Any experience/knowledge of this program? I don't have expensive cameras or lenses but would like to tinker with photos more than just the generic options offered with Picasa or many of the other photo hostin sites.

I am really enjoying this particular forum here on FlyerTalk. I love taking pics as I travel, and I am find that everyone seems to be really helpful here when it comes to constructive criticism.

Thx in advance!
