Paint.NET 4.0.2

Paint.NET is an image and photo manipulation application. Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately intuitive and quickly learnable without assistance. In order to handle multiple images easily, Paint.NET uses a tabbed document interface. The tabs display a live thumbnail of the image instead of a text description. This makes navigation very simple and fast.

Usually only found on expensive or complicated professional software, layers form the basis for a rich image composition experience. You may think of them as a stack of transparency slides that, when viewed together at the same time, form one image.

Many special effects are included for enhancing and perfecting your images. Everything from blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, distortion, noise, and embossing are included. Also included is our unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect that makes it very easy to add perspective and tilting.

Adjustments are also included which help you tweak an image's brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, curves, and levels. You can also convert an image to black and white, or sepia-toned.

What's new in this version:

Fixed the gamma and contrast for text rendering on some systems where the wrong values were being used ("rainbow" text)
Colors window now correctly lets you paste a hex color value that starts with a hash, e.g. #112233
Gradient tool now lets you reverse a transparency gradient by clicking the right mouse button on one of the handles (regression from 3.5)
Move Selected Pixels now lets you hold Control to leave a copy of the selected area behind on the initial move (regression from 3.5)
Paint Bucket tool's hatch fill modes weren't working with the Overwrite blending mode (regression from 3.5)
Fixed a keyboard tabbing issue in the Resize dialog (regression from 3.5)
Fixed the language setting in the Settings dialog not always allowing you to set it to English if your system's default language is non-English
Fixed a performance issue that caused images with many layers (50+) to take a VERY long time to open, close, or even switch away from (regression from 3.5)
Fixed a rare crash at application exit
Fixed an issue that prevented the 4.0.1 from installing on top of 4.0 when using the MSI (e.g. AD/GPO network deployment)
Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause the installer to take 30+ seconds to appear
