Paint.NET is image and photo manipulation software designed to
be used on computers that run Windows 2000, XP, or Server 2003. It
started development at Washington State University as an
undergraduate senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is
currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally
worked on it. It is meant to be a free replacement for the MS Paint
software that comes with all Windows operating systems.
Paint.NET has many of the powerful features that expensive
commercial applications have, including the ability to use layers.
We welcome any suggestions, and provide the source code for final
releases under the MIT License.
Paint.Net requires the .NET Framework 2 in order to run.
Change Log:
- Fixed: Crash when trying to save a
palette with a blank name
- Fixed: Changing an image's DPI resolution did not set its "dirty"
flag (you would not be asked to save changes)
- Fixed: Error messages at startup were covered by the splash
screen
- Fixed: Crash when a modal dialog was open (such as an effect)
when the user tried to logoff/restart/shutdown Windows, and they
chose to save their images
- Mitigated some CPU usage issues when the app was minimized and a
complex selection was active
