Moderators rridgely Posted March 1, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2006 A new version of paint.net is out and its pretty slick. The interface is updated to look like office 2003 and the app itself is more stable and solid. .net framework 2.0 is required though. http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/PaintNET/1096481993/1 updates: * Full 64-bit support, for both x64 and Itanium systems * New "Curves" adjustment for editing an image's color curves * Seven new layer blend modes: Color Burn, Color Dodge, Reflect, Glow, Overlay, Negation, and Xor * Aesthetic improvements to the entire user interface * Better performance, especially for 64-bit systems * Zooming, esp. with the mouse wheel, has been enhanced * Rewritten layer composition engine is now mathematically correct, and faster * Deployment via AD/GPO is now much easier (use /createMsi with setup package) * User interface now works correctly in high-DPI (120dpi, 144dpi, 196dpi) * Layers window list is no longer "upside down" * Upgraded to use .NET Framework 2.0 * Many other improvements and fixes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Cool! I havent tried paint.net, dont know what has been holding me back, maybe that I dont have .NET Framework because I am too lazy to get it and dont feel like I really need it. But maybe I should give it a try, it is open-source. Under the MIT-license which is OSI-compliant. Wonder if it works under Mono... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 doesn't work under Mono. maybe it will but not perfectly since it was designed to run on Windows XP/Vista only. also this wasn't a major release. this was just a port of 2.5 to the .NET Framework and a couple of bug fixes. the next version which is 3.0 or 2.7 will have a bunch of new features.

Moderators Andavari Posted March 2, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2006 I wish they would get a more easy to remember URL than; * http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ True, I ended up having to Google search for it however I've finally bookmarked the page. The obvious would of course be www.paint.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
