Does anyone have a painting/photo editing application that is very quick to start.

When I have something that I want to edit real quick, I open it in mspaint. But mspaint is so basic.

I'm looking for something that I can open in less than 3 seconds. Something really fast like that.

I have Adobe's CS2 and Elements 2.0, but they just take so long to load up.

Any recommendations?

Paint.Net (http://www.getpaint.net/index2.html) and don't forget optional plugins and extensions (http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewforum.php?f=16)!

Also try xnview the fastest launch I ever seen. From the 1st time I tried it, I assigned it to open all image files. Also it has some nice image editing features.

online editor, with layers
i counted 15 secs (depends on your web speed)

you also have a tweak to speed up loading of photoshop, which removes tons of filters etc

I'm going to check out Paint.netHow'd that work out for you? :huh: Hope its good for you, cause it is great for me and I hope you learned how to use the plugins, since it greatly expands the programs capabilities. ;)
