By Mohammad Farzan Hussain

Paint.NET is a popular image editing tool that is available for free. Last week I posted about the release of Paint.NET version 3.5. Now, this picture editing application has been updated to the new version, that is 3.5.1. This is the first update to the Paint.NET 3.5, and this update brings some bug fixes and new addition for Windows 7 users.

Features, changes and fixes in Paint.NET 3.5.1

Below are the new changes and fixes in Paint.NET 3.5.1

New: For Windows 7, added taskbar progress reporting for long running operations (effects, adjustments, Image->Resize, save, install)
Made some corrections to the French translation
Running setup with /auto will no longer launch Paint.NET when it’s done
Fixed an issue where Paste into New Image would refuse an image on the clipboard, even if regular Paste would take it
Fixed a race condition with Edit->Paste and Image->Resize whereby it would take up 100% CPU and take between 1 minute to 1 hour to finish
Fixed an issues with Copy/Paste where it would leave an extra line of transparent pixels on the left, top, right, and/or bottom edges
Fixed lag with the paintbrush tool that was being seen on some systems
Fixed some issues with the paintbrush and eraser tool being misaligned when zoomed in
Fixed a crash that would happen at (seemingly) random times, such as after drawing with the paintbrush tool, on some systems
