Download Paint.NET 5.0.10

Version 5.0.10 of Paint.NET has been released. This drawing and image editing program bridges the gap between the Paint that comes with Windows and expensive but very extensive programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Photo Paint. The program can be downloaded from the maker's website, but can also be downloaded from the website for a small fee Windows Store are obtained. Version 5.0 Includes many performance improvements, new features including pressure sensitivity for pens and drawing tablets, and a brand new effects plugin system with GPU rendering support. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

New:

• Edit -> Paste now supports base64-encoded images, which enables copying images from Microsoft Teams
• Plugins can now access the built-in JPEG and PNG FileTypes through two new methods on IFileTypesService
• The Paint.NET Plugin API Documentation website is now live
• Added convenience constructors to many Direct2D effects so that they can be used without declaring a new local variable
• Added GaussianBlurMapEffect and BokehBlurMapEffect for use by GpuEffect plugins. They enable the blur radius to be controlled per-pixel through the use of a second input image (the “map”)
• Added a RandomNoiseEffect that GpuEffect plugins can make use of
• Added Distance and Dot to the list of HlslBinaryFunctions
• Added Length and Mad (multiply-add) to the list of HlslTernaryFunctions

Updated:

• Updated the bundled AvifFileType to version 1.1.26
• Updated the bundled DdsFileTypePlus to version 1.12.6
• Updated the bundled WebPFileType to version 1.3.20. It now uses libwebp v1.3.2 which contains the fix for CVE-2023-4863/CVE-2023-5129

Fixed:

• Fixed a rare bug that would cause selection tools to not work until the image was closed and reopened
• All mouse cursors will now honor the Windows setting for adjusting the mouse pointer size
• Fixed a rare crash when rapidly undoing multiple actions
• All of the custom Direct2D effects now have runtime metadata (DisplayName, Author, Category, Description), which is useful for a UI that lets the user browse them (eg node editor)
• Fixed various bugs with HlslBinaryFunctionEffect, HlslBinaryOperatorEffect, and HlslTernaryFunctionEffect (which can be used by GpuEffect plugins)
• Fixed the Environment property's runtime type when accessed from an EffectConfigForm (for BitmapEffects and GpuEffects with custom UIs)
• Fixed UIScaleFactor's methods for converting between DIPs and pixels
• Fixed ability to work with EffectConfigForms in the Visual Studio WinForms designer
