Paint.NET v3.5.2 Beta Build 3653 - Kostenlose Bildbearbeitungs- Software
Wie bereits kurz vor Weihnachten im Paint.NET Blog angekündigt, haben heute die Entwickler der kostenlosen Bilderverwaltungs- Software Paint.NET die Paint.NET v3.5.2 Beta Build 3653 veröffentlicht.
Dieses Paint.NET Beta Build ist noch nicht über die integrierte Update-Funktion verfügbar. Der Entwickler geht aber davon aus das es nicht allzu lang dauern wird, dann wird Paint.NET v3.5.2 Beta Build 3653 auch über die integrierte Update-Funktion verfügbar sein.

Paint.NET ist eine Bildbearbeitungs- Software, die an der Washington State University und bei Microsoft entwickelt wurde. Ursprünglich sollte Paint.NET lediglich eine erweiterte Version von Microsoft Paint sein. Durch ständige Erweiterung bietet das Programm mittlerweile Funktionen wie z. B. das Arbeiten mit Ebenen, welche aus Adobe Photoshop oder GIMP bekannt sind. Auch die Bedienung ähnelt der von Adobe Photoshop.

Paint.NET v3.5.2 Beta Build 3653 - Changelog
This build is not yet available via the built-in updater, but if things go well (and I expect they will) then I'll publish it there soon.
This release will patch up some feature disparities in the Text tool between GDI (XP) and DirectWrite (Win7/Vista). It will also improve overall performance, as well as the correctness and quality of the Move Selected Pixels tool, the Image->Resize function, and the Hue/Saturation adjustment.
- All font variants (Arial vs. Arial Narrow, etc.) are now available with the Text tool in Win7/Vista with DirectWrite.
- Bitmap font types (Courier, Terminal, Fixedsys) are now available with the Text tool in Win7/Vista.
- Fixed some bad kerning with the Text tool at small sizes when antialiasing was turned off, with Win7/Vista + DirectWrite.
- Bilinear and Bicubic resampling for Image->Resize have improved quality, correctness, and performance. Super Sampling also has some performance improvement.
- Improved the rendering quality for the Hue/Saturation adjustment, as originally discussed here. Also made a new icon for it.
- The Move Selected Pixels tool had many subtle (and not-so-subtle ) rendering issues which are now fixed. These were readily apparent when rotating or flipping a selected area.
- Fixed: The Line/Curve tool was applying pixel snapping to the curve nodes, which caused lines to "bend" when using the Shift key to constrain the angle.
- Fixed some extraneous CPU usage related to unnecessary or redundant thumbnail updates.
- Fixed a few dialogs that looked wrong with Aero glass with Remote Desktop or Virtual PC.
- Fixed a nasty memory leak with Flatten followed by Undo.
- Fixed some issues related to effects that took awhile to cancel -- as it turns out, drag-and-drop was enabled at this time, which could easily lead to crashes. Now, a dialog box will be shown when an effect takes "too long" to finish or cancel.
- Some Win7 systems could not detect that .NET 3.5 SP1 was installed, even though it was. A fallback detection function has been added.
- For plugin authors, the Effect class now has a pollable IsCancelRequested property. This can be used to improve responsiveness for expensive OnSetRenderInfo() implementations, which are otherwise non-interruptible.
- For plugin authors, the Surface.FitSurface() method is now multithreaded.
