Changelog

   

    Added a workaround for a bug in the latest Windows 11 Insider "Dev Channel" build 10.0.22567.0 which is causing tons of crashes. Microsoft has a hotfix coming soon.
    Fixed a compatibility issue with the Shape Maker plugin that was preventing the ability to open or save shapes
    Fixed the precision of color channel values for images with transparency when using the Invert Colors or Black and White adjustments, and the Pixelate effect. Before, color values were reset to zero if the alpha channel was also zero.
    Fixed the rendering for Image -> Resize when using Nearest Neighbor. Sampling was off by 0.5 pixels, causing incorrect results. Reported here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/118703-incorrectoffset-nearest-neighbor-scaling-when-using-resize-dialog/
    Fixed a crash in the Quantize effect when Alpha Threshold was set to 0 and the image was completely transparent
    Updated the bundled AvifFileType to version 1.1.19.0. This updates the AOM version to 3.3.0. (thanks @null54!)

Changelog

    New: Added a button in the toolbar, next to Brush Size, for enabling/disabling pressure sensitivity. The button will only appear if a compatible pen or drawing tablet is detected, and Windows Ink has not been disabled in Settings.
    Fixed some issues with the main window that would only happen on multimonitor Windows 10 systems
    Fixed a few small issues with the Zoom tool
    Fixed an issue when saving a JPEG or TIFF with certain types of 0-length IPTC metadata
    Fixed: On older systems with multiple GPUs (e.g. Intel HD iGPU and an AMD/NVIDIA dGPU), where the first enumerated GPU does not support Direct3D 11, PDN will now use the next enumerated GPU that meets the Direct3D 11 requirement, rather than falling back to CPU rendering.
    Fixed a rendering bug when using the Pencil tool on small images exactly 2 pixels wide
    Fixed some crashes on systems with buggy GPU drivers. Paint.NET will try to revert to software rendering in this case.
    Fixed a crash on some systems with multiple pen/tablet devices, where some of the devices were claiming the same cursor ID
    Changed: All binaries are now digitally signed, not just EXEs and the shell extension DLLs (thanks @null54 for the help!)
    Updated the bundled AvifFileType plugin to version 1.1.23, which fixes an issue with progressive decoding (thanks @null54!)
    Updated the bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to version 1.11.0.0, which now detects files saved with the wrong extension and tries to load the file anyway (thanks @null54!)

Changelog

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!)

Changelog

    Improved: Image-Resize has been updated
    The default resampling mode is now Bicubic, which has been updated to use the Catmull-Rom ("Catrom") cubic filter. This matches the Bicubic mode of the Move Selected Pixels tool (which uses Direct2D's "HighQualityCubic" mode).
    Added a new resampling mode, "Bicubic (Smooth)", which has no sharpening. It may produces blurrier results, but is important for some scenarios if you need to completely avoid ringing artifacts that other modes (Bicubic, Lanczos, and Adaptive) can introduce due to their added sharpness.
    "Adaptive (Best Quality)" has been renamed to "Adaptive (Sharp)" and is no longer the default resampling mode. It is still a very good choice when resizing photos, but whether you use Adaptive, Bicubic, or Lanczos is up to your own personal preference.
    A new option has been added, "Use gamma correction", which is enabled by default.
    The text box for typing in a percentage now accepts two digits past the decimal point, e.g. 35.79%
    Improved: Move Selected Pixels (free transform) has been updated
    New: Added a "Multisample Bilinear" sampling mode. This has a sharper look than Anisotropic and avoids the "ringing" artifacts that can be apparent when using Bicubic with high-contrast images (like screenshots). However, it doesn't usually work as well when reducing a selected area to a much smaller size.
    New: Added a "Gamma mode" button in the toolbar to toggle gamma correction on and off. The default is on, which improves the quality of rendering by preserving luminance (brightness).
    Fixed a bug when using Bicubic sampling that would result in added sharpening when resizing the selected area to 1/8th its original size or smaller
    Improved: The rendering quality of the canvas area has been greatly improved
    Gamma correction is now used for mipmap generation and compositing, ensuring consistent luminance (brightness) and higher quality antialiasing.
    Multisampling is now used for antialiasing, which eliminates pixelation distortions when zooming in, and greatly reduces aliasing artifacts when zooming out.
    Improved: Thumbnails within the app now use gamma correction, which ensures consistent luminance (brightness)
    New: GPU effects and plugins now support gamma correction, with linear gamma being the default rendering mode for new plugins.
    This can be changed by overriding OnInitializeRenderInfo() and setting the renderInfo.GpuEffectColorContext property to GpuEffectColorContext.WorkingSpace (the default is WorkingSpaceLinear)
    GPU effect plugins have better access to color management information via the IGpuEffectImage interface and its ColorContext property. All input images (e.g. Environment.SourceImage) are now provided via this interface.

    In addition to the built-in effects that already render with gamma correction, the following built-in effects now also render with linear gamma and/or gamma correction:

    Adjustments - Exposure
    Blurs - Fragment
    Blurs - Motion Blur
    Blurs - Radial Blur
    Blurs - Zoom Blur
    Distort - Bulge
    Distort - Crystalize
    Distort - Dents
    Distort - Frosted Glass
    Distort - Pixelate
    Distort - Polar Inversion
    Distort - Tile Reflection
    Distort - Twist
    Layers - Rotate/Zoom
    Object - Drop Shadow
    Photo - Straighten
    Render - Julia Fractal
    Render - Mandelbrot Fractal

    Fixed: Ctrl+G has been reinstated as the shortcut key for Image - Rotate 90° Counter-Clockwise
    Fixed a rendering glitch in Effects - Distort - Dents that would sometimes result in rows or columns of incorrectly colored pixels
    Fixed: Some systems were having problems with Paint.NET not appearing in the "Open With" list in Windows File Explorer. This should now be fixed.
    Fixed: When installing an update, the desktop shortcut is no longer recreated. This means you can delete it without it reappearing after every update. This was a bug accidentally reintroduced back in Paint.NET v4.3.
    Improved: Increased the maximum zoom range from 1.5625% (1/64) - 6,400% to 1% - 10,000%
    Improved the reliability of the wrapper classes for Windows COM libraries (Direct2D, etc.)
    Improved the /ignoreCorruptPDNChunks to allow an additional type of corrupt PDN image to be partially recovered (thanks @null54!)
    Updated the bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to v1.11.8.0, which adds gamma correction for mipmap generation (thanks @null54!)
    Updated the bundled WebPFileType to version v1.3.17.0, which reduces some confusion when using lossless compression (thanks @null54!
