Paint.NET is free image editing 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.
Changes:
This is mostly a service release that fixes some bugs, while also improving keyboard / accessibility cues for some dialogs.
* Fixed: Pasting an image from Office 2003 applications now works (e.g. Excel 2003 graphs).
* Fixed: Some dialogs were not indicating which command button was the default. These buttons now have a highlight to indicate which one will be activated if the user presses Enter or Space.
* Fixed: Some minor keyboard navigation issues with task dialogs
* Fixed: Performance issue with the File->Acquire submenu taking a long time to appear
* Fixed: Window activation issue when the Print wizard was finished / closed
* Fixed: Crash when there was 1 image open and the user pressed Ctrl+Q and then Ctrl+W
* Fixed: Minor performance issue if the user had 1 modified image open and then canceled the "Save changes?" dialog
* Fixed: Misbehaving filetype factory implementations (plugins) will no longer cause a crash
