Comparing Paint.Net & Inkscape

Today in class, we discussed and experimented on two different types of editing software - Paint.Net & Inkscape.

Paint.Net;
Paint.Net is a software program where images of all formats can be edited by using different sorts of tools provided, including paintbrushes, the option to add text, adding effects, adjusting the brightness of the image, etc.

Inkscape;
Inkscape is a software vector graphics editor program where images of all formats can be edited & altered, using tools such as brushes, text and effects such as blurring.

Similarities;

1. They both are types of editing software.
2. Images of any type can both be opened on Paint.Net & Inkscape.
3. They both have many different varities of tools to use.
4. Both give the ability to add text to your image.
5. Both have a wide variety of effects to use on your image.
6. Both have a little window/toolbox with a set of different colours to choose from to use to paint/draw with.
7. Images from places like the internet can be opened onto these two programs.

Differences;

1. In Paint.Net, when you draw and zoom into your image, you can clearly see the pixels that make it up. On Inkscape, you can't see what your scribble is made up of.
2. Inkscape & Paint.Net both save their files in different formats.
