Download Paint.NET 3.5.7 Beta Build 4058

A new beta release of Paint.Net was released on Saturday. As the name suggests, this photo editing program needs the .Net Framework to do its job. Updating is preferably possible from within the program itself, but downloading is also an option option. In this release, among other things, the reliability when writing files has been improved and various bug fixes have been implemented.

Changes in Paint.NET version 3.5.7 beta build 4058:

• Saving an image is now fault-tolerant. If there is an error or crash while saving, the original file will be left alone.
• Worked around a bug in some plugins that are incorrectly using the built-in Gaussian Blur effect. For example, Sharpen+. Now they won’t crash.
• Fixed a bug with Edit->Paste into New Image, where the new image would be 1 pixel too wide or tall, as reported here
• Fixed a bug with the Rectangle Select tool and Fixed Ratio selection, which would be off by 1 pixel, as reported here
• When pasting an image from Paint.NET into Paint.NET, it will be a little smarter about where it puts the image. Previously, if the location wasn’t within the viewport, it would be placed at the top-left corner of the viewport. Now it will find the nearest point along the edge of the viewport to place the image.
• The EXIF ​​rotation (“orientation”) metadata is now discarded when opening an image, which was causing aggravation with images that could then never be reoriented correctly using Image->Rotate
• The EXIF ​​tags for JPEG thumbnail data are now correctly discarded.
• Fixed a potential memory leak in the Gaussian Blur effect.
• Fixed a typo in the Italian translation. In the setup wizard it was referring to “Pain.NET” (woops)
