I'm keeping my eye for a little while on Paint.net, and now with 3.0's feature set it looks more promising than ever. However, I've felt the need for a few features, common in other image editing programs:
- antialiased selections
- polygonal lasso
- text layers
- live effects
- an alternative to the color wheel
- grouping of similar tools
Small annoyances:
- I'd like to be able to shrink even further the Colors window - to only see the colors. It's also annoying that it fades in and out as you move the cursor on/off it, because it alters the way the colors look
- it seems odd that when you try to move a layer a selection of the size of the image appears after you release the mouse button
- it would be nice if the selection would go away if you would click outside it with the move tool
I'm interested if any of these features/adjustments are planned by the developers for 3.0, or a later version or at all.
Thanks
