Paint.NET Graphics Editor, a powerful graphics editor for Windows, has received a major update that includes new features and bug fixes. The new version, Paint.NET 2017.3, includes a redesigned interface that makes it easier to work with large files and multiple layers. It also includes support for the latest versions of Windows 10 and 8.1, as well as Paint.NET 2017 for MacOS Sierra and High Sierra. “Paint.NET Graphics Editor is one of the most popular graphic editors on the market,” said Jens Bergensten, CEO of Norwegian software company CodeWeavers AB. “The new interface makes it more user-friendly and efficient to work with large files and multiple layers.” Paint.NET 2017 is available now from CodeWeavers AB’s website or from the Microsoft Store for Windows 10/8/8.1/7/Vista/XP (32-bit or 64-bit). ..


Paint.net started out as a Microsoft Paint replacement written on the .NET framework, and it has since become a comprehensive, powerful graphics editor. Now, it’s reaching its next chapter with version 5.0.

The first alpha testing release of Paint.NET 5.0 is now available, and it comes with several improvements and additions that make the program more powerful than before. Some additions include pressure sensitivity, helping you draw natural-looking strokes if you have a compatible drawing tablet or device, and most adjustments and effects inside the program are now GPU-accelerated, resulting in improved performance.

Other additions include new effects, new adjustments, and new effects, including a new bokeh effect. Of course, this is the very first alpha release, so we’ll probably see a lot of new additions and improvements as the update nears a stable stage. Even this preliminary list of changes and improvements is pretty large, though, so make sure you read the whole original post if you’re interested in trying this out.

If you want to give this alpha version a spin, make sure you’re using 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11 — version 5.0 is removing support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, as well as support for 32-bit Windows entirely.
