Paint.NET 4.0 Build 5268 Beta

Graphics & Designs

Paint.NET is an image and photo manipulation application. Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately intuitive and quickly learn able without assistance. In order to handle multiple images easily, Paint.NET uses a tabbed document interface. The tabs display a live thumbnail of the image instead of a text description. This makes navigation very simple and fast.

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.

Many special effects are included for enhancing and perfecting your images. Everything from blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, distortion, noise, and embossing are included. Also included is our unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect 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, curves, and levels. You can also convert an image to black and white, or sepia-toned.

What’s new in this version:

• The Line/Curve tool is now back, and the Line and Curve shapes have been removed from the Shapes tool
• Improved rendering quality of the Line/Curve tool, especially when anti aliasing is disabled
• Rectangle and Rounded Rectangles shapes now draw using an “inset” brush stroke. This helps prevents blurriness with odd-sized brush widths
• Shapes tool now lets you commit by clicking outside of the bounding box of the current shape. (you can also start drawing a new shape via clicking and dragging, of course)
• Improved rendering quality of brush tools when anti aliasing is disabled
• Improved performance of Shapes and Line/Curve tools on most systems (e.g., less than 8 CPU cores)
• Improved rendering quality of Image->Resize when using Nearest Neighbor
• Fixed the Palette chooser in the Colors window, which was going away when you tried to move the mouse to click on one of its items
• Fixed some broken clipping when using Paste and “Expand Canvas”
• Intel-based GPUs now default to having hardware acceleration disabled. You may still force it to be enabled from the Settings dialog.
• When pasting, the PNG format now has a higher priority than CF_DIB, which allows easier access to transparency (alpha) from other applications
• Tools no longer incorrectly commit when clicking on the currently active layer in the Layers window
• The layer’s opacity was being ignored while drawing if it was the lowest (index zero) layer
• You can now copy a file from File Explorer and Paste it into Paint.NET (regression from 3.5)
• Fixed the canvas scroll bars occasionally being incorrect after maximizing the main window and then restoring it
• Fixed radio button group tab processing
• Fixed many small miscellaneous crashes
• New language: Czech

Image for Windows 2.96

Image for Windows 2.96. Image for Windows is a reliable drive image backup and restore solution that provides an easy and convenient way to completely backup all your hard drive’s data, programs and operating systems. Your backups can be saved directly to external USB and FireWire drives, to internal or network drives, and even directly to CD, DVD, or BD. The Image for Windows package includes an easy-to-use MakeDisk wizard for creating a recovery boot disk. To restore your data, programs and operating systems back to the way they were when the backup was created, simply boot the recovery disk and restore the partition(s) or drive(s) you need to recover.

Image for Windows utilizes the technology provided by Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) or PHYLock, an add-on component included in the Image for Windows package. VSS and PHYLock allows you to continue using your computer while the backup is locked to a point-in-time. This eliminates the inconsistencies typically experienced while backing up a partition that is in use.

Image for Windows 2.96 changes:

• Added /nowait option (must be first) to allow multiple instances (special use).
• Changed installer for new installs to ask if simple operations should be used.
• Added copy to simple operations.
• Added new VSS options and changed defaults.
• Other potential changes, updates and enhancements.
