Paint.net 3.5.8 - Bildbearbeitung jetzt auch für Windows 7 zum Download

Neben den üblichen Bearbeitungsfunktionen und verschiedenen Effektfiltern bietet Paint.net auch Unterstützung für Ebenen - ganz wie professionelle Software. Der Funktionsumfang lässt sich zudem über viele Plugins erweitern, dennoch bleibt die Oberfläche stets übersichtlich und leicht zu bedienen.

Paint.Net benötigt in der aktuellen Version 3.5 zwingend Microsofts namensgebendes .Net-Framework 3.5 SP1. Die neueste Auflage des Bildbearbeitungs-Tools bietet sowohl eine Verbesserung der Geschwindigkeit und Stabilität gegenüber älteren Versionen, als auch einen geringeren Verbrauch von Arbeitsspeicher wie auch ein internes Update zur derzeit aktuellsten Framework-Version.

Die Bedienoberfläche wurde überarbeitet und an das Windows Thema Aero von Windows 7 und Vista angepasst. XP-Nutzer bekommen hiervon nichts mit, denn die Glass-Oberfläche muss aktiv sein. Auch technisch soll sich einiges verbessert haben. So geben die Entwickler an, dass der Hauptspeicherverbrauch nun nicht mehr ganz so ausufernd ist und die Akkulast auf Notebooks soll verringert worden sein. Oft gewünscht wurden schnellere Startzeiten, die von den Entwicklern nun umgesetzt wurden und die Installationsgröße auf 12 MByte reduziert.

Änderungen in Version 3.5.8

• Fixed: Saving to a folder that has been moved or renamed will display an error instead of crashing (regression from 3.5.6)
• Fixed: Saving to a Sharepoint site will now work (regression from 3.5.6)
• Fixed: Saving to a file that is marked as read only will now give an error instead of crashing (regression from 3.5.6)
• Fixed: General reliability and correctness improvements to fault-tolerant saving

Änderungen in Version 3.5.7

This update improves reliability of saving, further improves Copy/Paste functionality, and fixes some other miscellaneous bugs.
• Saving an image is now fault-tolerant. If there is an error or crash while saving, the original file will be left alone.
• Worked around a bug in some plugins that are incorrectly using the built-in Gaussian Blur effect. For example, Sharpen+. Now they won't crash.
• Fixed a bug with Edit->Paste into New Image, where the new image would be 1 pixel too wide or tall.
• Fixed a bug with the Rectangle Select tool and Fixed Ratio selection, which would be off by 1 pixel.
• When pasting an image from Paint.NET into Paint.NET, it will be a little smarter about where it puts the image. Previously, if the location wasn't within the viewport, it would be placed at the top-left corner of the viewport. Now it will find the nearest point along the edge of the viewport to place the image.
• The EXIF rotation ("orientation") metadata is now discarded when opening an image, which was causing aggravation with images that could then never be reoriented correctly using Image->Rotate
• The EXIF metadata for JPEG thumbnail data are now correctly discarded.
• Fixed a handful of memory leaks.
• Fixed a typo in the Italian translation. In the setup wizard it was referring to "Pain.NET" (woops)

Änderungen in Version 3.5.6

• When pasting an image, Paint.NET will be smarter about ensuring it is placed within the area that has been scrolled/zoomed to.
• Improved the performance and quality of the Curves and Hue/Saturation adjustments.
• Some minor improvements to memory usage, which should help out a few scenarios on 32-bit systems.
• Fixed: If a JPEG was loaded that had an embedded ICC profile, and was then saved as an 8-bit or 24-bit PNG, then the resulting file would be corrupt (32-bit PNG worked fine though).
• Fixed: 16-bit TGAs no longer load with the red and blue channels swapped.
• Fixed: Copy-paste from a Remote Desktop session will no longer be 'shifted' by 3 pixels.
• Fixed: Copy-paste from Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome should preserve alpha/transparency.
• Fixed: Copying from Paint.NET and pasting into Windows Live Writer should now work.
• Fixed: Taking a full-screen screenshot with Print Screen on a multimonitor system, where those monitors don't form a simple rectangle, will now fill the 'gap area' with transparent instead of black. (Example: two monitors of the same size, one of which is rotated by 90 degrees)
• Fixed: If Paint.NET is opened without specifying an image to open, and then the default image is modified and saved, then Paint.NET will no longer close it upon opening another one. This was causing data loss if that default image had layers, and was then saved in a format that did not support layers (anything other than .PDN).
• Fixed: Some systems were showing 'red X' thumbnails for .PDN files in Windows Explorer, instead of the real thumbnail.
• Fixed: The EXIF "Creation Software" saved along with images is no longer localized. This prevents certain languages from seeing "Paint.NET ????? v3.5.6" in the image properties (metadata).
