Paint.Net or Pixia?

[Velen]

Okay, I am torn now. Between Paint.NET and Pixia.

I don't know the full extent of either program's capabilities, seeing as I have used neither program before. Both are for Windows (which I can run on my Win7 on Parallels), and both are graphic editing programs. Both support multiple layers and transparency effects, and also support multiple file types.

One was originally created for the Manga/Anime community, but has been used for other types of art, the other has been used for all kinds as well. Both are Freeware programs. One carries Wacom Tablet support (though I don't have one), the other I'm not so sure.

I am completely torn between these two programs, but the problem is that most people here are biased towards Paint.NET and there is nobody to give a differing opinion (or a neutral one) and as far as I can tell, neither one offers a good demo.

So I am just completely torn by this, I don't know which one to choose...

I use GIMP, many use photoshop. All those programs are pretty much the same. Just try them out and use whichever one you prefer using.
