Paint.NET 3.5

這套影像編修軟體擁有親切好用的介面，並支援圖層、無限次數的復原以及各種特效處理。為了更容易使用，Paint.NET利用縮圖標籤頁介面，取代以往的文字標籤頁。

• 它有針對Windows 7或Vista特別做介面上的加強。
• 不論是使用Atom CPU筆記型電腦或是雙核心的桌上型電腦，都可以在這套軟體上體驗到快速啟動及回應的快感。
• 結合線上談壇，擁有多個社群討論區，可互相切磋精進。
• 多種特效濾鏡，包括模糊、銳利化、變形、雜訊、去除紅眼等等。
• 無限制的回復次數，暫存容量僅限於可用的磁碟空間大小。

* New: Refreshed user interface with new icons and visual styling. On Windows 7 and Vista, it is enhanced for Aero and "glass".
* New effect: Blurs -> Surface Blur, by Ed Harvey
* New effect: Distort -> Dents, by Ed Harvey
* New effect: Distort -> Crystalize, by Ed Harvey
* New: Russian translation.
* Performance and memory usage have been extensively optimized throughout the entire program.
* .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is now required, which has many built-in performance improvements.
* Disk space usage has been reduced by about 12MB by using NTFS compression on installation files related to staging (.MSI) and diagnostics (.PDB).
* Compression for .PDN images has been improved.
* Effect dialog responsiveness has been improved.
* Images open much faster, especially on single CPU systems.
* Startup performance on most systems will be better by about 20%.
* Memory usage has been reduced when more than one image is open.
* Rendering quality has been greatly improved when zoomed in.
* The selection outline is no longer animated. Instead of "dancing ants", a context-sensitive "XOR" stipple pattern is drawn. This has allowed for improved performance and lowered CPU consumption (and longer battery life).
* The font manager for the Text tool has been completely rewritten, which fixes many problems seen with crashes and missing fonts.
* On Windows XP, the Text tool has improved reliability and font selection (it uses GDI instead of GDI+).
* On Windows 7, the Text tool will use DirectWrite (instead of GDI) which gives better performance and greatly improved quality. On Windows Vista, you may install DirectX 11 to enable this feature; otherwise GDI will be used.
* The toolbar font list has improved usability, rendering quality, and significantly improved performance.
* The toolbar font list no longer requires an application restart to recognize newly installed fonts.
* When many fonts are installed, both memory usage and startup performance have been greatly improved.
* It is now drastically easier to move a very small selection.
* All installation prerequisites are now installed automatically, such as .NET and Windows Installer.
* Updates are now downloaded in the background, and installed after you exit the application. In previous versions, this was a foreground task and you could not use Paint.NET while the update was downloaded.
* Added a "Utilities" menu. Updates, Languages, and Plugin Errors have been moved there.
* Added a "Manage Fonts" command to the Utilities menu. This will launch the built-in Windows font control panel.
* Clicking the middle mouse button on an image thumbnail will now close the image.
* Improved the Unfocus effect.
* The DirectDraw Surface (.DDS) file type now allows you to select the resampling algorithm for auto-generated mip-maps.
* A processor that supports SSE is now required (almost all CPUs purchased this decade satisfy this).
* Fixed an issue with Gaussian Blur and its treatment of alpha values.
* Fixed a crash with the "Units" selector in the toolbar.
* Fixed a crash due to an overflow that prevented very large images from working (64-bit only).
* Fixed many other miscellaneous glitches and crashes.
* The Korean translation has been removed. Sadly, we were unable to find the resources to complete this.
