Paint.NET 4.0 has been released, it's a pretty big update and has been a long time coming. It doesn't support XP or Vista anymore, so if you're on those, unfortunately you can't use it. So what's new? Here is the official blog post: http://blog.getpaint.net/2014/06/24/paint-net-4-0-is-now-available/ Things I have tried and liked:

I've never heard of this. I used Gimp constantly for really basic and mundane tasks and its quirks bug the poo poo out of me. This looks easier

This looks easier Paint.Net is great for quick little edits. I use it quite a bit and love it. Thanks for the notice that there is an update, I'll download it and give it a shot today.

Yes, for basic editing Paint.NET is awesome. It lacks some things that I miss pretty often, like a smudge and liquify tools. There are plugins, but unfortunately you have to work "blind" with them. Supposedly version 4 laid some groundwork for plugins being able to add tools and brushes, but they are not in this version yet.

Switched over to StylePix a couple of years ago and I'm not sure, even with the new additions, what makes Paint.net worth checking out again.

Cool! This is a pretty neat project, I'm glad to see it updated again.

Paint.NET is both free and has a user interface that is designed for humans (unlike Gimp, even after all these years).

I've been a long time fan of paint.net, this new update looks great. For simple stuff in Linux I've recently started using http://pinta-project.com/

Wheany posted:StylePix is not free, right? One of the things I like very much in the free version is that, in the program itself, if you wouldn't go searching for it, you wouldn't know that there is a paid version. It's not shoved down your throat, you don't even have the greyed-out-things-causing-a-popup-reminding-you-to-buy thing. And the features missing from the free version actually go beyond what you'd expect in a free program. So I count StylePix as being honest to god free. It's an allright program. It's not never need Photoshop again amazing, but it's ok. Last I tried Paint.Net, it took over 30 seconds to start on my netbook, which was pretty close to how long full Photoshop needed on that thing. Which is ridiculous for something to quickly crop a photo and put some text on it or something like that. Can you edit text yet in Paint.Net? That's what got me to switch away from it.

Okay, I've noticed a couple of small annoyances in 4.0: It doesn't remember the positions of the tool windows and I don't like that the sample layer/image toggle is linked between all the tools that use it. I often use flood fill to make an opaque bottom layer to otherwise transparent layered image, so I want to fill the whole empty layer with a solid color. That doesn't mean I want to sample colors with the color picker only from the layer I'm working on.

I'm bumping this thread to because there have been three new bug fix releases since 4.0. The list of chages is here: http://www.getpaint.net/roadmap.html
