Download Paint.NET 3.5.1

The developers behind the photo editing program Paint.NET released the first update two weeks after version 3.5 became available. Paint.NET requires at least version 3.5 SP1 of the .NET Framework and therefore only works on Windows XP or higher. Updating is preferably possible from within the program itself, but downloading is also an option option. In version 3.5, the user interface has been refreshed. For example, there are new icons and it can use Aero on Windows Vista and 7. There are also several new effects, the program starts up faster and the text tool has been completely rewritten. Below is what has changed in this release:

Changes/fixes since v3.5:

• New: For Windows 7, added taskbar progress reporting for long running operations (effects, adjustments, Image->Resize, save, install)
• Made some corrections to the French translation
• Running setup with /auto will no longer launch Paint.NET when it’s done
• Fixed an issue where Paste into New Image would refuse an image on the clipboard, even if regular Paste would take it
• Fixed a race condition with Edit->Paste and Image->Resize whereby it would take up 100% CPU and take between 1 minute to 1 hour to finish
• Fixed an issues with Copy/Paste where it would leave an extra line of transparent pixels on the left, top, right, and/or bottom edges
• Fixed lag with the paintbrush tool that was being seen on some systems
• Fixed some issues with the paintbrush and eraser tool being misaligned when zoomed in
• Fixed a crash that would happen at (seemingly) random times, such as after drawing with the paintbrush tool, on some systems
• Fixed a minor and obscure rendering glitch with the Move Selected Pixels tool
• Fixed an issue with glass over Remote Desktop or Windows 7 Virtual PC
• Fixed a minor glitch whereby the “Unsaved Changes” confirmation dialog could never finish rendering the image thumbnail if one of the Move tools was active
