RIP MS Paint 1985 - 2017

he's not wrong, gimp is loving painful if all I need to do is select crop and upload something within 10 seconds

Gimp and Photoshop take years to start up because of how they load up a billion plugins, effects, etc, Paint.Net really is the fastest of the group and it only takes slightly more than a second to start up compared to MS Paint

Alternatively, you can just use the Snipping Tool, which seems to start up as fast as MS Paint

Well he is right, PDN doesn't take more than 2 minutes max if you've got it installed on a good hard drive and have a modern CPU.

the fact it can take more than 5 seconds is enough for me to prefer mspaint if im doing basic color swapping/editing for textures and dont need transparency.

there are still computers produced today with stuff processors, like netbooks and stuff meant for text editing n stuff. pdn would just lag too much/take too long to load on computers like that

wait, outlook is being killed as well?!

My school district's pcs are still windows 7 and all the teachers used outlook to communicate, not a big problem, but I am wondering how they are going to get by this.

Two minutes what the forget. It shouldn't take more than 5 seconds.

it took about 2 minutes in the past for me

Paint.NET is so lightweight, what kind of potato are you running it on?

I literally just timed the opening for PDN and it took 3 seconds at most.

Define "past", because the team behind PDN has been working on it's performance, UI, and other things fairly often, they even put out an update in the last few days that makes it perform better after the Windows 10 Creators Update

dont be so quick to judge. i had a lot of addons which increased the load time (and made paint.net a lot more useful)

Nah, it's still possible, it just won't be aliased

But it can still very well look absolutely atrocious

It makes sense that plugins slow it down, like how Garry's Mod takes longer to load up when you have a bunch of addons installed

And that's also why Gimp and Photoshop are so slow to start

But in a default installation, Paint.Net should only take a second or two to start

Im talking about it at MAX. For me it usually never takes more than 5 seconds also, but on lower end hardware it takes a little while to get running.
