[Win] Paint.NET v5.0 Alpha Download

The first Alpha release of the image editor Paint.net 5.0 has been released. It is important to note that the new Alpha version is not being pushed through an app update, but is being released as a standalone version. To test the Alpha version, users will need to download the portable version, which can be run on one device alongside the stable version.

Paint.net 5.0, the image editor, is a major version update that modifies the system requirements for the program. The new version will only run on 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11. The new version no longer supports older versions of Windows, and users still running those devices can continue to run Paint.net 4.x instead.

Paint.NET 5.0 has a number of significant performance improvements, with new features including pressure sensitivity for pens and drawing pads, and a new system of effect plug-ins that support GPU rendering.

The new version also provides significant performance improvements. The new release extends the GPU acceleration efforts that began with Paint. Net 5.0, the core user interface sections, including the History and Layer windows, rulers, image lists, and the Curves and Levels user interface all use GPU acceleration. In addition to user interface acceleration, most of the Adjustments and Effects also use the GPU in this new version, and an added benefit of this change is that the "rendering quality and color accuracy" has been greatly improved.
