It's called
Paint.NET and it is not by Microsoft!!!!!!
It is a program like photoshop or Paint Shop Pro etc.
but the price is not between 300

If these are textures in Extended BMP format you will need a texture converter like DXTBmp to convert them for editing.

I've been using Paint.Net for a couple of months now and I think it's great. There are quite a few plugins you can download for it that can make it copmatible with Photoshop files, for example. Also lots of manipulation effects.

Best of all it's 100% compatible with Windows Vista. Brilliant!


Fantastic!

Yup!! Hands down, Paint.net is the best there is to offer. In my opinion, it beats Photoshop for repainting AC by a mile. It does layers, effects, supports antialiasing, and with a small module, will open .psd's. IM NEVER GOING BACK TO ADOBE.

To add to JonH's comment - I downloaded the latest available beta (3) version which *inlcudes* support for the dds format.  Basically, you can open one of the default dds textures directly, no conversion needed.

I'm finding it pretty hard to repaint using it,  :-/
How can I make it so I don't paint over Windows and doors,
and when I paint you have to do the front and then the end of the aircraft.
Is there anyway to have the whole Body of the Aircraft together to paint it?  ;)
