paint.net 4.2.13 is now available!

[Rick Brewster]

This update adds some additional low-bit-depth choices to several file types (PNG, BMP, TIFF), and fixes some bugs.

 

If you’re using the Windows Store release, you should get the update automatically within the next 24 hours. You can also force an update check by following these instructions.

 

For the Classic release, you should be offered the update automatically within the next week or so. You can get the update sooner by going to ⚙ Settings → Updates → Check Now. You can also download and install it directly from the website.

 

Changes since 4.2.12:

• New: Added 2-bit per pixel support when saving as PNG
• New: Added 1-bit per pixel support when saving as PNG, BMP, and TIFF
• Fixed low-bit-depth saving quality (8-bit, etc.), as it would sometimes produce very bad results (e.g. only using 64 colors instead of 256)
• Fixed: Resizing an image at very large sizes (e.g. 32K pixels to 64K pixels) would fail due to an arithmetic overflow
• Fixed: Sometimes recently saved images would not have an updated thumbnail in File Explorer unless/until its window was manually refreshed
• Fixed: Sometimes saving an image to a network share would not work
• Updated bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to version 1.10.4.0, which fixes an issue when loading and saving images using the sRGB color space. This issue was reported here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/116572-dds-file-format-bc1-bc7-srgb-export-incorrectly . Thanks @null54!

 

Enjoy!

I am getting a message looking for the file "PaintDotNet_x64_1917812102.msi in the paint.net/staging/ folder - this happens if trying to update from existing version or installing from the installer package. Please advise.

А можно в следующей версии добавить функцию вытягивания нужных кнопочек в меню быстрого пользования. Например мне нужна часто функция "обращения выделенного", а она спрятана в "правке", вот прям хочется ее при надобности вытянуть из правки. Или в "эффектах" какой то эффект сегодня постоянно нужен, вытянуть бы его поближе, а когда не нужен будет спрятать. Было бы удобнее работать.

 

 

Google Translate:

And in the next version, you can add the function of pulling the necessary buttons to the quick-use menu. For example, I often need the function of "reversing the selected", but it is hidden in the "edit", so I really want to pull it out of the edit if necessary. Or in "effects" some kind of effect is constantly needed today, it would be pulled closer, and when it is not needed it will be hidden. It would be more convenient to work with.

You can invert the selection using the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+I
