It also fixes some important bugs, and even gives back a feature that got lost in the move from 3.5 to 4.0. Good stuff all around!</p> <p>As usual, you can download it directly from the website, or you can use the built-in updater via Settings –> Updates –> Check Now.</p> <p>Here’s the change log:</p> <ul> <li><strong>New</strong>: Added a ‘Fill’ property to the Paintbrush tool (regression from 3.5).</li> <li><strong>Faster</strong>: Move Selected Pixels has been significantly optimized.</li> <li><strong>Faster</strong>: Magic Wand Tool has been significantly optimized.</li> <li><strong>Faster</strong>: Working with aliased selections ("aliased selection quality" in the toolbar) has been significantly optimized.</li> <li><strong>Faster</strong>: Edit->Copy and Edit->Copy Merged are now up to 2x faster.</li> <li><strong>Faster</strong>: Drawing when a selection is active; clipping performance is now improved.</li> <li><strong>Fixed</strong>: The Text tool no longer produces terrible looking text when using Smooth rendering mode without antialiasing.</li> <li><strong>Fixed</strong>: The Gear shape had a few glitches.</li> <li><strong>Fixed</strong>: Using a Fill pattern with the Paint Bucket would sometimes produces misaligned or "corrupt looking" results.</li> <li><strong>Fixed</strong>: The alignment of the menu buttons in the top-right was off by 2 pixels, causing them to look weird at high-DPI.</li> <li><strong>Fixed</strong>: The zoom buttons in the status bar would not recognize clicks unless the main window was already in focus.</li> <li><strong>Fixed</strong>: Some incorrect errors about requiring Windows 7 SP1 when launching the installer from something like an old version of WinZip.</li> <li><strong>Fixed</strong>: Edit->Clear Selection and Edit->Cut were filling with transparent black (#00000000) instead of transparent white (#00FFFFFF). This caused some discrepancies compared to older versions of Paint.NET (regression from 3.5).</li> <li><strong>Fixed</strong>: Pressing Ctrl+A when a drawing tool was active would sometimes incorrectly show a tinted selection.</li> <li><strong>Fixed</strong>: Text in the title bar was not visible when using a 3rd party Aero theme with black titlebars.</li> </ul> <p>Enjoy!</p> <div id="atatags-26942-675b321028767"></div> <script> __ATA.cmd.push(function() { __ATA.initDynamicSlot({ id: 'atatags-26942-675b321028767', location: 120, formFactor: '001', label: { text: 'Advertisements', }, creative: { reportAd: { text: 'Report this ad', }, privacySettings: { text: 'Privacy', } } }); }); </script> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-698" class="post-698 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-update-news without-featured-image"> <header class="entry-header "> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href=" https://blog.getpaint.net/2014/11/25/paint-net-4-0-4-beta-build-5442-is-now-available/" rel="bookmark">paint.net 4.0.4 beta build 5442 is now available</a></h1> </header> <div class="entry-body"> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="date"><a href="https://blog.getpaint.net/2014/11/25/paint-net-4-0-4-beta-build-5442-is-now-available/" title="Permalink to paint.net 4.0.4 beta build 5442 is now available" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2014-11-25T15:40:50-08:00">2014-11-25</time></a></span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://blog.getpaint.net/2014/11/25/paint-net-4-0-4-beta-build-5442-is-now-available/#comments">4 Comments</a></span> </div> <div class="entry-content"> <p>I talked about 4.0.4 in a <a href="http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/30337-paintnet-404-beta-build-5442/">recent blog post</a>, and now I’ve got a beta that you can try out.

It’s finally time to start talking about the next one!</p> <p>I’ve been slowly chipping away at various little things in Paint.NET, especially with respect to performance. And also some missing features and bug fixes.</p> <p>Here’s a preview of what’s coming in 4.0.4:</p> <ul> <li>The ability to choose a “Fill” is coming back for the Paintbrush tool. I didn’t think many people would miss it and so I left it out of 4.0 in order to save time for other things. I was wrong on two fronts here: 1) people do need it, and 2) it only took a few minutes to implement. So, in 4.0.4, it’ll be back. </li> <li><strong><em>Dramatically </em></strong>faster Magic Wand tool. I came up with a new algorithm to do the reverse scan-conversion that is needed here. On small images you probably won’t notice, but if you’ve ever had the Magic Wand tool “take forever” then the next update is going to be your favorite one of all time. I’ve seen the Magic Wand go from taking 60+ seconds in 4.0.3 to taking maybe 2 or 3 seconds in 4.0.4. </li> <li>The improvements to the Magic Wand tool’s reverse scan-conversion algorithm have also been applied to make aliased selections work <em>a lot </em>faster. (Actually I’ll tell the proper truth here: This work was originally intended as a challenge to myself to see if I could make the aliased selection rendering run a lot faster. It just so happened to be more relevant for the Magic Wand <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" style="border-style:none;" alt="Smile" src="https://blog.getpaint.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/wlemoticon-smile.png?w=620" />) </li> <li>Much faster performance overall. I’ve chipped away at performance in the areas of antialiased selections, selection clipping, and so on. Anything involving selections should be a lot faster. In particular, the Move Selected Pixels tool has a fantastically smoother framerate. Some of this optimization just involved a better choice of sorting algorithm (e.g. by using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introsort">introspective sort</a> instead of raw <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksort">quicksort</a>). I have also aggressively applied a coding pattern in C# which allows elision of virtual function calls (via inlining) by combining generics, structs, and interfaces. If anyone is interested in hearing the details, please let me know in the comments below, as I’m not sure this has been discussed much in the broader C#/.NET community. This pattern is responsible for the first 20% performance gain in my C# implementations of quicksort and introspective sort, so it’s nothing to sneeze at <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" style="border-style:none;" alt="Smile" src="https://blog.getpaint.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/wlemoticon-smile.png?w=620" /> Other performance improvements came about by being smarter about how selection mask generation was parallelized with other computations, by replacing integer divisions with multiply/add/shift combinations, and so on. <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh448170.aspx">Windows Performance Analyzer</a> is your friend, folks! I’ve been using it extensively to optimize paint.net 4.0 (both now and in the past). </li> <li>Other miscellaneous bug fixes, of course. The Gear shape had some glitches (oops), the Text tool produced foul output if you used its Smooth rendering mode while antialiasing was disabled, and Edit –> Clear wasn’t behaving the same as it was in v3.5 and was causing problems because of it.</li> </ul> <p>“Reverse scan-conversion” is the inverse of polygon scan conversion (also known as rasterization). It’s the process of taking a list of non-overlapping rectangles with integer coordinates and extents (e.g. <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.int32rect(v=vs.110).aspx">System.Windows.Int32Rect</a>) and stitching them together to form a polygon (a list of points in 2D space). In Paint.NET this is used when you have chosen to use aliased selections: your selection’s polygonal outline is scan-converted (rasterized) to produce a list of integer rectangles which approximate its interior (this is a well-known algorithm in computer graphics). This list of rectangles (or “scans”) is then fed into the next algorithm which stitches the rectangles together to create a “pixelated” (or <em>rectilinear</em>) polygon outline. In 4.0.3 and before, each rectangle was first transformed into a closed polygon and then they were all run through <a href="http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~toby/gpc/">GPC’s</a> <em>union</em> algorithm. This ensured that any touching edges were coalesced. Unfortunately, GPC just does not like this scenario and performs <em>excruciatingly</em> slow, and sometimes even crashes via stack overflow.</p> <p>As it turns out, this has a lot of overlap with what the Magic Wand tool does. It too needs to take a list of rectangles and transform it into a polygon, although the source is different. We start by applying ye ol’ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill">flood fill algorithm</a>, with tolerance thresholding, to the image in order to create a bitmask that tells us which pixels are included or not. This bitmask is then converted into a list of rectangles via a process akin to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding">RLE compression</a>. And then that list of rectangles must be converted into a polygon because that’s the way Paint.NET’s selection system works (it is geometry based: it needs polygons!). This is what takes up about 99% of the CPU time when you see the Magic Wand “taking forever,” and by reducing it from O(n^m) down to O(n), much time and frustration is saved. (I’m doing a little hand-waving here by not specifying what ‘n’ is. Also, I haven’t actually analyzed GPC’s code to figure out what <em>m</em> is, although it’s probably 2. Have <em>you</em> tried analyzing its code? It’s intense <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" style="border-style:none;" alt="Smile" src="https://blog.getpaint.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/wlemoticon-smile.png?w=620" />)</p> <p>Almost all of the CPU time is now spent drawing the selection outline with Direct2D. A future update might optimize that too since Direct2D is using a general purpose algorithm, something which is overkill when all I need is to apply a 1 pixel stroke to a polygon.</p> </div> </div>
