Download Paint.NET 4.0.14

Version 4.0.14 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. Version 4.0.14 is a minor update with some bug fixes and minor improvements.

Paint.NET 4.0.14 is now available

This is a minor update that slightly improves the brush tools, and fixes a few weird issues that some people were seeing.

Changes:

• Improved the performance of the Brush tools when antialiasing is enabled
• Improved the quality of the Brush tools when antialiasing is disabled
• Fixed: Edit->Paste wasn’t working with some images that came from Firefox (as discussed here)
• Fixed: Improved the reliability of Image->Crop to Selection on 32-bit systems. Instead of crashing when it runs out of memory, it will just show an error.
• Fixed: Reduced crashes when loading UI images caused by an unreliable Windows component (“System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid”)
• Fixed: When manually checking for updates in the Settings dialog and the user didn’t actually have the necessary security privileges, a crash might result instead of an error dialog.
