Mastering Paint.NET 3.5.10 - ebook

In September of 2012 I published my book on Paint.NET.  The ebook (Kindle version) is available from Amazon.com (the image below is a link).

I've written this book for beginners through to advanced users. I hope Mastering Paint.NET 3.5.10 will prove the definitive guide to our beloved image editor.


The book is a complete reference to every feature, nuance, tool, filter and effect found in Paint.NET. It's hundreds of pages with hundreds of color images, screenshots, diagrams, tips, detailed explanations, hints and how-to guides.

Here's what some of the esteemed Paint.NET forum users had to say about it:

“Scott aka EER has achieved something with this book - teaching an old dog new tricks. A very informative read, with the author speaking to you ... not down to you as some user manuals do. His sense of humor adds to the whole reading experience.” -- Welshblue
