Two nice .NET graphics utilities both got updates over the weekend. The first alpha of Paint .NET 2.1 was released and so was the second code update for Color Picker .NET. I wonder how the color picker in Paint .NET matches up with the specialized app? Perhaps a bit of unification would be nice here?

Rick Brewster has been quietly getting on with Paint .NET for some time with his band of merry men and the results have been pretty darn good too. Far beyond the Paint that gets installed by default with a Windows installation, I give it a few more point releases, a decent screen capture facility and I'll use it rather than Paint Shop Pro. How about it Rick?
