I love
Paint.net!

It is a must have program for any Windows user. It is far from your default paint program that came with your PC. It features a very innovative user interface that supports all type of features and tools.
Another benefit of this free software is it has a huge community of developers. Here are some of the tutorials they have put out for the rest of use to learn from.
They cover newbie tutorials, image and photo touch-ups, text effects and tons more. If your looking how to get something done with your images; there is a good chance they have covered it in one of their many tutorials there.
Check it out, and let me know if you have any favorite tutorials that helped you out.
