Karamjit Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Paint.NET is image and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing. The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality.

Karamjit Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 In This Release: paint.net 4.2.6 - released on November 21st, 2019 This update is focusing on some important fixes and performance improvements, and getting some infrastructure ready for future releases so that pens and tablets with pressure sensitivity can be fully supported (planned for v4.3). Improved the input handling systems to use WM_POINTER, which enables glitch-free drawing when using a pen or stylus (e.g. Surface Pen, Wacom/Ugee tablet) (see here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/113173-the-first-5mm-of-a-freehand-line-are-straight-when-using-a-tablet/ ). This will also be the basis for adding pressure sensitivity in a future release (v4.3). Added a "Native pointer input" setting if a "pointer" device is available (pen, tablet, touch screen). Disabling this will cause any pointer device to be emulated as a mouse, which may be more compatible but at the cost of smoothness. Pointer devices are listed in Settings -> Diagnostics. Removed the "Fluid mouse input" setting because the use of GetMouseMovePointsEx() has been removed (it's a very buggy and broken API). This finally fixes a number of weird issues related to erratic or "scribbly" drawing. Improved performance of Move Selected Pixels, Shapes, and Gradient tools when releasing the mouse button at the end of drag-and-drop gesture. Previously, anything rendered between the last mouse "move" and "up" events was re-rendered, resulting in the appearance of a delay/lag. Greatly improved performance of layer thumbnails when switching between images Improved: The image list at the top can now be scrolled by clicking the arrow buttons and holding the mouse down, just like a regular scroll bar button. (Previously you had to click repeatedly). This improves usability, but was also noted as being important for accessibility. Improved: Smooth scrolling animations have been removed from the image list and layers list due to them just not working very well. Improved window chrome/theming when the app is running in Remote Desktop on Windows 10 Changed: The size of the default/initial image ("Untitled") is now scaled exactly by system DPI setting (previously scaled by integer/floor of DPI setting). So at 150% DPI scaling this image will now be 1200x900 instead of 800x600. Fixed some high-DPI layout bugs with the Layer Properties dialog, while also preparing this UI for future additions Fixed a crash (OutOfVideoMemoryException) on systems with hybrid GPU setups that are configured wrong. This seems to be a bug in Windows and DirectX. A "hybrid GPU" setup is an Intel iGPU or AMD APU paired with a discrete GPU in a laptop. Improved handling of the dreaded "NoHardwareDeviceException" crash: The user will be notified of how to fix this. It happens only on 2nd generation Intel Core systems with NVIDIA "Optimus" GPUs (GeForce or Quadro) when the NVIDIA Control Panel is set to force apps (or just Paint.NET) to use the NVIDIA GPU. This is a bug in the NVIDIA driver and/or in DirectX. Fixed images being pasted incorrectly from Outlook 2016/365. This is actually a bug in Outlook: it puts PNGs on the clipboard that are arbitrarily cropped and scaled for some reason, and specifies they are the preferred format to use when pasting. This completely boggles my mind, it's just really weird, I can't imagine why it's done this way. Fixed some clipboard image handling for plugins (regular Copy/Paste is unaffected) Changed: SSE2 is now required for 32-bit/x86 systems (prevously, only SSE was required). See blog post: https://blog.getpaint.net/2019/10/14/paint-net-v4-2-6-will-require-sse2-on-32-bit-x86/ Updated bundled WebPFileType plugin to v1.3.1.0 (thanks @null54!) Updated bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to v1.9.8.0 (thanks @null54!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone posted the working portable version at the moment (update: @moszter has posted the portable version, please refer to his post). However, there's a workaround to obtain a "portable" copy of Paint.NET here: https://blog.getpaint.net/2017/07/21/portable-mode-in-paint-net-4-0-17/ Just a reminder, the latest version of .NET framework is still required to be installed on your system, even if you're running the portable version of Paint.NET.

mp68terr Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 To complete the above post, be aware that Paint.NET depends on Microsoft's .NET Framework 4.7.2. The link given on Paint.NET site leads to the version 4.7.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link given on Paint.NET site leads to the version 4.7.1. Although @mp68terr mentioned that Paint.NET depends on .NET Framework 4.7.2. , there was actually a more recent version it, which is version 4.8. So .NET Framework 4.7.2. is the bare minimum to run Paint.NET. .NET 4.8 is included on Win 10 v19xx, manual installation/install via Windows Update is required if running Win 7 SP1, Win 8.1 and Win 10 v1607-v1809. .NET 4.7.2 is included on Win 10 v18xx, manual installation/install via Windows Update is required if running Win 7 SP1, Win 8.1 and Win 10 v1607-v1709. Windows 10 v1507 LTS will need to upgrade newer LTS release (v1609 or v1809) in order to have .NET 4.7.2. or NET 4.8. installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
