    New Release of Paint.NET 5.0.3


    https://github.com/paintdotnet/relea...nstall.x64.zip

    This update adds the ability to draw shapes from the center, the ability to resize shapes and selections uniformly (from the center), as well as the usual handful of bug fixes.





    In this update I've also rewritten the Direct2D initialization code to modernize it (switching away from ID2D1HwndRenderTarget, in other words). For now you should see no difference, in terms of rendering or performance, compared to previous versions. Future updates should see reduced memory usage and improved canvas interaction capabilities as I investigate and integrate the use of newer Windows technologies like DirectComposition and DirectManipulation.





    For all the details on what's new in 5.0 (there's a lot!), check out its release post.





    Changes since 5.0.2:


    New: You can now draw from the center when using the Shapes or Line/Curve tools by holding down Ctrl. You can also resize uniformly by holding Ctrl.

    New: You can now resize uniformly ("centered") by holding down Ctrl when using the Move Selection or Move Selected Pixels tools

    Fixed: Edit -> Copy and Copy Merged are no longer greyed out (disabled) when a selection is not active; they will copy the entire layer or image. You could always use the keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Shift+C) to invoke these commands, but the menu items were not clickable.

    Fixed: Right-clicking on the color wheel in the Colors window will now set the secondary color

    Fixed some issues with the Text tool recentering the view when it shouldn't when keys like Ctrl are pressed

    Fixed some JPEG images failing to load because of malformed IPTC metadata

    Fixed a rare crash in the Magic Wand and Paint Bucket tools

    Fixed an uncommon rendering glitch with the Text tool when antialiasing is disabled

    Fixed an issue with some older plugins that were using the legacy Gaussian Blur effect with radius=0

    Added an /ignoreCorruptPDNChunks command-line parameter to assist with certain data recovery scenarios for .PDN files

    Updated the Direct2D initialization code in order to modernize it and enable future work that will optimize performance, memory use, and interactivity (e.g. with DirectComposition and DirectManipulation)

    Updated the bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to version 1.11.4.0, which adds error diffusion dithering support for the BC1-3 formats (thanks @null54!)

    Get the Update

    There are two releases of Paint.NET:


    Microsoft Store release (recommended)
    You can purchase it here. This helps fund development and is an alternative or supplement to sending in a donation.

    If you already have it installed, the update should happen automatically once Microsoft certifies the update, usually within the next day or two. To get the update immediately (once it's certified), you can follow the instructions listed here.



    Classic Desktop release
    Download the installer from the website. This is the recommended download if you don't have Paint.NET installed. It can also be used to update the app.

    If you already have it installed, you should be offered the update automatically within the next week or so, but you can also get it immediately by going to ⚙ Settings -> Updates -> Check Now.

    Offline Installers and Portable ZIPs are available over on GitHub.

    New Release of Paint.NET 4.0.18

    System Requirements Minimum System

    • Windows 7 SP1 or newer (Windows 10 recommended)
    • 1GHz processor (dual-core recommended)
    • 1GB of RAM

    Paint.NET depends on Microsoft's .NET Framework 4.6, which is automatically installed if it isn't already on the system.
    Paint.NET will automatically run in 64-bit mode if possible. You must have a 64-bit capable CPU and an x64 edition of Windows.
    Paint.NET uses your hard drive to store temporary files related to undo/redo history. Because of this, actual disk space requirements will depend on the actions you perform on an image, and on the size of the image.

    paint.net 4.0.19 is now available

    2017-10-02 in Update News | 1 comment

    This is a hotfix that fixes a startup crash, and fixes Explorer thumbnails.
    As usual, you can download the update directly from the website, or you can use the built-in updater via Settings –> Updates –> Check Now. You can also purchase it from the Windows Store , in which case updates will become completely automatic and you’ll never have to worry about it ever again
    This is the first time that folks will get the chance to have an update through the Windows Store (that is, to update from 4.0.18 to 4.0.19). Hopefully everything goes smoothly. I expect the Store version will be “behind” the Classic version by a day or so, pending Microsoft’s certification and server propagation.
    Changes:

    • Fixed missing thumbnails in Explorer for non-.PDN images (e.g. .PNG, .JPG), if Paint.NET was configured to open these types by default
    • Fixed a crash at startup that affected some people with a redirected Documents folder (e.g. network share)

    Here was the announcement for 4.0.18, which had more changes.
