Download Paint.NET 4.2.5

Spread the love

Version 4.2.5 of Paint.NET has been released. This drawing and image editing program bridges the gap between the Paint supplied with Windows and expensive but very extensive programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Photo Paint. Today, the program is also offered via the Windows Store offered, although a small fee is charged for that version. Since version 4.2.3 the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in 4.2.5:

  • New: WebP images are now supported due to bundling @null54’s excellent WebPFileType plugin (v1.3.0.0)
  • Fixed: Pasting images from Firefox’s “Take a Screenshot” feature was resulting in swapped red and blue channels due to mishandling of DIB_V5 clipboard data using the BI_RGB value for bV5Compression (thanks @null54 for the fix!)
  • Fixed crash at startup (for both app and installer) on Windows “N” editions due to missing mfplat.dll (Media Foundation Platform)
  • Updated bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to v1.9.7.0

Changes in 4.2.4:

  • Fixed a hang, which sometimes also resulted in a crash, when saving DDS images in certain formats (eg BC1/DXT1)
  • Improved: Reduced CPU usage in the COM interop system, which should help reduce overall power consumption
