    Post My first paint.net map

    I tried to use the Gimp to make maps but the interface made me very and , so I gave Paint.net a shot.

    Here is my result, I'm pretty happy with it.

    Welcome to the Guild Thegreenman!

    I would suggest giving GIMP another shot. There are somethings you just can't do in Paint.Net (at least not out of the box as far as I have found) that are build into GIMP. I just can't see some things that I can do easily in GIMP as being possible at all in PDN.

    If your main issue with the interface is the seperate windows, then switch now and get used to the GIMP tools as the next version of GIMP is supposed to go to some type of single window interface from what I understand. Also, there are plenty of tutorials and helpful hands here to help you out with GIMP if you want.
