  • Simple, intuitive user interface
    Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately intuitive and quickly learnable without assistance. It is also designed to be immediately familiar to users of the original MS Paint software that comes with Windows.
  • Layers
    Usually only found on expensive or complicated professional software, layers form the basis for a rich image composition experience. You may think of them as a stack of transparency slides that, when viewed together at the same time, form one image.
  • Powerful Tools
    Paint.NET includes simple tools for drawing shapes, including an easy-to-user curve tool for drawing simple splines or Bezier curves. The facilities for creating and working with selections is powerful, yet still simple enough to be picked up quickly. Other powerful tools include the Magic Wand for selecting regions of similar color, and the Clone Stamp for copying or erasing portions of an image. There is also a simple text editor, a tool for zooming, and a Recolor tool.
  • Unlimited History
    Everybody makes mistakes, and everybody changes their mind. To accommodate this, every action you perform on an image is recorded in the History window and may be undone. Once you've undone an action, you can also redo it. The length of the history is only limited by available disk space.
  • Special Effects
    Many special effects are including for perfecting your images. Everything from blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, and embossing are included. Also included is our unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect (new for v2.5) that makes it very easy to add perspective and tilting.

    Adjustments are also included which help you tweak an image's brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and levels.
  • Open Source and Free
    Paint.NET is provided free-of-charge, and the source code (all 105,000 lines of it) is also available for free under generous licensing terms. The bulk of Paint.NET is written in C#, with only a small amount of code related to setup and shell-integration written in C++.

Paint.NET v3.36 Released August 26, 2008

Quote
This is mostly a servicing release to make some small improvements and to fix a few important bugs.

List of changes:

    * Improved: Effect rendering should be a little faster now.
    * Changed: Implemented some changes to the "Add Noise" effect that were suggested by a forum member.
    * Changed: The canvas background color is now always #c0c0c0.
    * Changed: The auto-updater should now correctly detect .NET 3.5 and newer, which will help to save bandwidth when Paint.NET v4.0 is released (it will require .NET 3.5).
    * Fixed: Paint.NET now works on a system that has the .NET 3.5 SP1 "Client Profile" installed.
    * Fixed: When zoomed in and the cursor is to the top-left of the image (negative coordinates), the ruler is now highlighted in the correct area. Fixed: The effect rendering system no longer sets the "Tag" property on the configuration dialog.
    * Fixed: Some incorrectly authored plugins would cause a crash when loading their support details (author, copyright, etc.).
    * Fixed: There was a bug in the color wheel for IndirectUI that caused it to show the wrong values at initialization.
    * Fixed: There was a performance problem for effects that used the IndirectUI color wheel control.
    * Fixed: In some rare cases, Paint.NET would crash while shutting down.
    * Fixed: When using the "Fixed Ratio" feature of the Rectangle Selection tool, it would crash if 0 was specified for both the width and height.
