Rick Brewster Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 It's done! Thanks to everyone who's given feedback and submitted bug reports; they really have helped increase the quality of Paint.NET. There are two ways to get it: 1. Via the built-in auto-updater. Go to File -> Updates -> Check Now. 2. Download it from our website: http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net . Links for the installer (with and w/o .NET) are on the front page, and the source code is on the Download page. This is a great upgrade to v2.5, and is highly recommended: * Full 64-bit support, for both x64 and Itanium systems * New "Curves" adjustment for editing an image's color curves * Seven new layer blend modes: Color Burn, Color Dodge, Reflect, Glow, Overlay, Negation, and Xor * Aesthetic improvements to the entire user interface * Better performance, especially for 64-bit systems * Zooming, esp. with the mouse wheel, has been enhanced * Rewritten layer composition engine is now mathematically correct, and faster * Deployment via AD/GPO is now much easier (use /createMsi with setup package) * User interface now works correctly in high-DPI (120dpi, 144dpi, 196dpi) * Layers window list is no longer "upside down" * Upgraded to use .NET Framework 2.0 * Many other improvements and fixes This release does NOT expire. The expiration, or "time bomb", is only for our alpha, beta, and release candidate builds.

Crazy Man Dan Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Rawx! Now I can put a new version on my laptop... I put one of the dev releases on there, and, since it's not hooked up to the internet, I don't get to update on a regular basis. My build expired some time ago. Thanks to all the peoples!

Bob Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Why does it use .resources files instead of .resx introduced by .NET 2.0? Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RejZoR Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Excellente! Here is the download mirror: http://files.filefront.com/PaintNet_26_ ... einfo.html PS: I'll remove 2.5 and 2.6RC builds from the mirror but the control panel appears to be down.

Delta Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Bravo! Bravo! Truely magnificent. Why would anyone pay for Photoshop when they can just use this! Well, maybe not the best example but still! Fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
