Download Paint.NET 4.3.7

Version 4.3.5 of Paint.NET has been released and due to problems two successors have quickly appeared. This drawing and image editing program bridges the gap between the Paint supplied with Windows and expensive but very extensive programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Photo Paint.
