Thanks for the Info.
I use Paint .Net a lot for most editing and resizing tasks, but it does lack such things as HDR photo editing and other high end features. But it opens so fast, and you can specify what tool you want it to default to when it opens, so that’s very handy.
I am using a XP-Pen Star 03 ( https://www.xp-pen.com/product/44.html ) digital drawing tablet. They are like perfectly tuned to paint .net . All the button functions will work and it was affordable as well.
