Pinta 3.1 Open-Source Paint App Released with New Cells Effect, Axonometric Grid

Pinta 3.1 has been released today as a major update to this open-source, free, and cross-platform paint program written in GTK# for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Coming more than eight months after Pinta 3.0, the Pinta 3.1 release implements a new axonometric grid under View > Canvas Grid, a new Cells effect, a polygon selection mode to the Lasso Select tool, a Radius Percentage parameter to the Twist effect, and a revamped canvas widget to improve performance.

Pinta 3.1 also updates the Gradient tool with handles for adjusting the gradient length and direction, updates the Dithering effect to use Pinta’s current palette in addition to the effect’s preset color palettes, and updates the Splatter brush to repeatedly draw while holding the mouse down.
