paint.net 5.0.4 is now available
Summary
This update includes another revamp of Image->Resize’s resampling modes, gamma correction for key parts of the app, higher quality canvas rendering, and a host of other miscellaneous fixes and improvements. It produces subjectively blurrier results, but is important for scenarios where you need to completely avoid the (usually) subtle ringing artifacts that other modes (Bicubic, Lanczos, and Adaptive) can introduce due to their added sharpness. • The text box for typing in a percentage now accepts two digits past the decimal point, e.g. 35.79% • Improved: Move Selected Pixels (free transform) has been updated • New: Added a “Multisample Bilinear” sampling mode. • Fixed a bug when using Bicubic sampling that would result in added sharpening when resizing the selected area to 1/8th its original size or smaller • Improved: The rendering quality of the canvas area has been greatly improved • Gamma correction is now used for mipmap generation and compositing, ensuring consistent luminance (brightness) and higher quality antialiasing. • In addition to the built-in effects that already render with gamma correction, the following built-in effects now also render with gamma correction: • Fixed: Ctrl+G has been reinstated as the shortcut key for Image -> Rotate 90° Counter-Clockwise • Fixed a rendering glitch in Effects -> Distort -> Dents that would sometimes result in rows or columns of incorrectly colored pixels • Fixed: Some systems were having problems with Paint.NET not appearing in the “Open With” list in Windows File Explorer.
