Новая версия бесплатного графического редактора, способного заменить стандартный Paint. Paint.NET разрабатывается в Вашингтонском университете (Washington State University), и эта разработка поддерживается корпорацией Microsoft. Графический редактор Paint.NET отличается продуманным интерфейсом и значительной функциональностью по сравнению со стандартным редактором Paint. Тут поддерживается работа со слоями (в том числе с прозрачными), удобная настройка панелей инструментов, удаление эффекта красных глаз (опция Red-Eye). Кроме того, программа содержит общие инструменты для работы с графикой, позволяет в удобном виде менять размер изображения, увеличивать чёткость картинки. Встроенными средствами Paint.NET на редактируемое изображение можно накладывать различные эффекты.
Обратите внимание: для нормальной работы программы необходимо, чтобы в системе был установлен Microsoft .NET Framework.
*******************************************************************************************
Paint.NET is free image editing and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing. The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality.
Paint.NET can be used to enhance and clean up your photographs. Using the Clone Stamp tool, the power lines that criss-crossed in front of the Space Needle were carefully removed. Other operations were performed that had the effect of smoothing out the image without blurring it, adding some "bloom" (glow), and increasing the contrast.
Changes in Paint.NET 3.10 Beta:
* Note: For the beta, the new features are only presented in English. The final release will have complete translations for the other supported languages.
* New: Soften Portrait effect, by David Issel
* New: Ink Sketch effect, by David Issel
* New: DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file format support, by Dean Ashton. Improved from the original source code by optimizing the DXT compression library ("Squish") to take advantage of multiple cores or processors.
* Improved: Visual fit-and-finish for the Layers window.
* Improved: Visual fit-and-finish for the close / 'X' button on image thumbnails.
* Changed: The keyboard shortcut key for the Color Picker is now 'k'. This makes it so that the toolbar option, "After click: Switch to previous tool", is not useless for those using the keyboard shortcuts.
* Fixed: Pressing Ctrl+[ no longer cancels out of drawing a line/curve, but instead decreases the brush size by 5 as expected.
* Fixed: Ctrl+clicking on the brush size +/- buttons now changes the brush size in increments of 5
* Fixed: Save Configuration dialog would "creep downward" from its last position every time it was opened again
* Fixed: TGA codec now saves the # of alpha bits to the image descriptor byte. This was causing some other applications to load TGA files saved with Paint.NET as solid black images.
* Fixed: Clicking the 'X' to close the Layer Properties dialog was not reverting changes made to the layer while the dialog was open.
* Fixed: Installation will not proceed unless Paint.NET is closed, and will also not allow Paint.NET to be opened until installation is completed. This helps to ensure a fully coherent and complete installation or update.
* Fixed: In Vista, it was possible to crash the Save As dialog by typing a filename that was too long.
* Fixed: In Vista, it was possible to crash the updater if you let the UAC prompt time-out.
* Fixed: It was possible to crash Paint.NET on some systems by clicking on a tool in the Tools window while the "Save As" dialog was open.
