Olandro Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I have d/l and used version 3.0 and am very grateful for such a nice program. I didn't want to upgrade as I was very happy with it the way it was. How can I just keep using Paint.net without having to upgrade ? I'm old and don't like change that much. Paint.net is replacing Adobe 2.5. It has all that I want and more so am very happy with it as it is. Thanks to all the staff for such a fine product ..

Crazy Man Dan Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Well, Version 2.72 is the last release in the stable 2.7x line, and will never expire. So, you can keep using that for as long as you desire!

Olandro Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Dan, Thanks for the information. If I stay with the 3.0 beta1 will it mature out so you don't have to keep upgrading ? Olandro- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Yes, Rick has published his plan to make 3.0 final by February. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Like BoltBait said, the final release of 3.0 is planned for February. It will not expire. Only alphas and betas expire.

Olandro Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Rick, My thanks to you and anyone else involved with Paint.net. My wife and I both are disabled and low income. We are into genealogy and it involves a lot of pictures and documents. Adobe LE came on my 1995 PC which I have tried to keep up to date as best I can. Adobe 2.5 was a 16 bit program and doesn't work that well with XP but it was like an old friend and served me well. I have tried many shareware or other free graphic programssince I got XP but nothing comes close to what you folks have or at least for me and what I use it for it is simply a great program. The auto color adjustment works great and so does the typing tool... just love it. THANKS to all ! Olandro- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korteck Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I downloaded 3.0 Beta a few minutes ago. I'm sure I'm gonna' love it, but I was just getting comfortable with v2.72, and I was hoping that 3.0 wouldn't overwrite it. Unfortunately, it did. I wanted to keep both versions on my computer...at least for a while. Does anyone know if that's possible? Oh well, I'm off to study 3.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinSoldier Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Yes, it is possible. Download and install 2.72. Go into the Program Files or wherever it is installed and copy the folder Paint.NET to Paint.NET-2.72 or something like that. You should have two folders now. Then launch Paint.NET (from the original location) and update. It will only update the original copy. You will still have a copy of Paint.NET 2.72 in its own folder. You can still drag a shortcut out of the Paint.NET-2.72 folder for launching the older version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
