Download Paint.NET 5.0.7

Version 5.0.7 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:

• Ctrl+Shift+Page Up/Page Down can now be used to switch between tabs

Improved:

• The selection highlight is now hidden when the Layer Properties dialog is open
• The Move Selection Tool will not be forced to commit its state when the image is being saved, thus preserving history entries

Fixed:

• Shortcut keys are now listed for the tooltips in the Layers and History windows and for the selection combine modes in the toolbar. The help text for the Magic Wand and Paint Bucket tools also notes that holding Shift will use Global mode.
• Fixed the Edit -> Copy and Copy Merged menu items from being incorrectly enabled when no image is open
• Fixed an issue where the selection highlight would not appear in some cases
• Fixed some rare rendering artifacts for GPU plugins when using the CPU for rendering
• Fixed an infinite loop when using BoltBait’s Apply Mask twice, on two separate images with a different number of layers

Misc

• Changed the icon for Contiguous mode (Magic Wand and Paint Bucket tools) to have better contrast with the icon for Global mode
• Removed the /setenv command-line parameter
• Updated the bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to v1.11.9.0
