Menu Bar

There are nine top-level menus in Paint.NET:

  1. File

    Provides access to open, acquire, and save images. These options behave similarly to other document and image editing programs. There are also commands for setting the language of the user interface, and checking for updates.

  2. Edit

    Contains commands for easy manipulation of the image history, the selected region of the image, the selection itself, and the clipboard.

  3. View

    These commands change the way that the image or workspace are presented to you.

  4. Image

    Contains commands that alter the entire image, including all layers.

  5. Layers

    These commands alter only the currently active layer.

  6. Adjustments

    Contains adjustments which may be used to edit the current layer.

  7. Effects

    Contains effects which may be used to transform the current layer.

  8. Window

    These commands allow you to hide or show the floating utility windows, to reset them to their original locations, and to toggle their translucent effect.

  9. Help

    Provides quick access to this help documentation, the ability to send feedback or a bug report, and access to information about the authors.
