Paint.NET 3.36

Paint.NET is an open source, raster graphics editing program for Windows, developed on the .NET Framework. Paint.NET has evolved from a simple replacement for the Microsoft Paint program, which is included with Windows, into a powerful editor with support for layers, blending, transparency, and plugins.

Paint.NET has many of the powerful features that expensive commercial applications have, including the ability to use layers.

Features of Paint.NET:

- Simple, intuitive, and innovative user interface. Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately intuitive and quickly learnable without assistance.
- Layers. Usually only found on expensive or complicated professional software, layers form the basis for a rich image composition experience.
- Frequently Updated. Updates usually come about every 4 to 6 weeks, and contain new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes.
- Special Effects. 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.
- Powerful Tools. Paint.NET includes simple tools for drawing shapes, including an easy-to-use curve tool for drawing splines or Bezier curves.
- Unlimited History. Once you've undone an action, you can also redo it. The length of the history is only limited by available disk space.
- Open Source and Free.

Attention:

Paint.Net requires the .NET Framework 2 in order to run.

Changes in latest version:

Improved: Effect rendering should be a little faster now. Changed: Implemented some changes to the "Add Noise" effect. Changed: The canvas background color is now always #c0c0c0. Changed: The auto-updater should now correctly detect .NET 3.5 and newer, which will help to save bandwidth when Paint.NET v4.0 is released (it will require .NET 3.5). Fixed some bugs.
