Download Paint.NET 4.0.11

Version 4.0.11 of Paint.NET has been released. As the name suggests, this program needs the .Net framework to do its job. It started as a study assignment for Washington State University to replace the Paint included with Windows, but now contains a lot of functionality that we also see in more extensive, commercial packages. Since version 4.0, the program performs a lot faster, especially on multicore processors, but has at least Windows 7 as a system requirement. New in version 4.0.11 includes the ability to set rounder corners for rectangles. We also see a small collection of bug fixes and small improvements.

Paint.NET 4.0.10 is now available

This update adds the ability to configure the Rounded Rectangle shape’s corner size. It also fixes issues with scrolling and panning, effect rendering performance, high DPI, and a rare system hang caused by WPF.

New:

• Rounded Rectangle’s corner size (“radius”) is now configurable
• Overscroll can now be disabled from within Settings

Fixed:

• The Zoom tool was broken in 4.0.10
• Auto scroll will no longer engage overscroll. This prevents the image from shooting off in all directions when drawing on it or when making a selection.
• Panning with the middle mouse button would sometimes be “sticky”, as reported at here.
• Effect rendering performance had significantly regressed in 4.0.10, by as much as 50%, on Intel CPUs with HyperThreading. More info.
• Selecting the entire image and then using Zoom to Selection or the Zoom Tool would align the image in an awkward manner
• In rare cases, Settings -> Plugin Errors was hanging the whole system (bug in WPF?). This UI is now implemented in WinForms instead of WPF. More info.
• Fixed some more high-DPI issues, especially when using multiple monitors with mixed DPI, or when using Remote Desktop
