This is a small follow-up to 5.1 alpha build 8929 that fixes a few bugs and adds HDR support for Windows 10.

 

For more information on the upcoming 5.1 release of Paint.NET, be sure to read the release notes for build 8900, as well as the release notes for build 8929. Highlights include color management, HDR and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) display support, some new and updated effects, and canvas customization settings.

 

This build is available via the built-in updater as long as you have opted-in to pre-release updates. From within Settings -> Updates, enable "Also check for pre-release (beta) versions of paint.net" and then click on the Check Now button.

You can also download the installer here (for any supported CPU and OS), which is also where you can find downloads for offline installers, portable ZIPs, and deployable MSIs.

 

Changes since 5.1 alpha build 8929:

• Fixed: HDR displays are now supported on Windows 10 (previously required Windows 11). They will no longer fall back to sRGB mode.
• Fixed the selected pixels going invisible with the Move Selected Pixels tool when the scale factor was greater than 2 on either axis
• Fixed an internal color profile cache bug that was preventing images from loading
• Fixed title bar text rendering legibility on systems at 100% scaling (96 DPI)
