Paint.NET

What works

Note, this result belongs to the old Paint.NET version 3.5.11 (in a stock 64bit Wine prefix). All newer 4.x Paint.NET releases are (as of July 2021) unfortunately still broken because of some unimplemented functions (in Wine or Mono).

Almost everything works:

 - Open picture

 - Simple manipulations of images (e.g.: gradient, text, selection, fill, etc.)

 - Effects

 - Save picture in different formats like PNG, GIF, etc.

In contrast to most previous test reports also the following aspects are definitely working:

 - JPEG quality change

 - Saving in .gif format

 - Layers: Rotate / Zoom

 - Effects: Blurs, Radial Blur, Zoom Blur

 - Distort: Bulge

 - Polar Inversion

 - Twist

What does not

Workarounds

What was not tested

 - Plugins

 - Printing

 - Import picture from a scanner or camera

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: AMD
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

No winetricks option was used. It looks that newer Mono 6.x versions are stable enough to run Paint.NET bilds of the 3.x branch.

This is true for a 64bit and most likely also for a 32bit Wine prefix.

However, it seems still to be recommended to use an older Windows version string like "Windows XP". This may prevent some minor UI glitches.
