Quick question about image editors.

[Vanya]

Do any of you guys know of a simple image editing program (such as neopaint) that supports alpha blending AND has a gradient fill tool?

[John2k4]

I have heard that Paint.NET is pretty good & fairly easy, but I'm not sure if it has them.

I use GIMP for all my image purposes. Free and powerful.

both are perfect choices. and free.

Yeah, I use Paint.NET and it's really easy to use and free. It's like a mix of Paint and Photoshop.
