Na eerder tweede alphareleases is het nu de beurt aan de eerste bèta van versie 3.20 van Paint.NET. Dit fotobewerkingsprogramma dankt zijn naam aan het feit dat het in C# ontwikkeld wordt, en versie 2.0 van het .NET Framework is dan ook nodig om het programma te kunnen draaien. Paint.NET zit wat functionaliteit betreft tussen het met Windows meegeleverde Paint en professionele commerciële programma's als Paint Shop Pro en Photoshop in. Niet gek dus voor een programma dat gratis wordt aangeboden. Upgraden naar deze versie kan vanuit het programma zelf (mits 'Also check for beta releases' aan staat), of er kan een 1,38 megabyte grote webinstaller van deze pagina worden gedownload. Hieronder zijn alle veranderingen te vinden die sinds de tweede alpharelease zijn aangebracht:
Improved:Changed:
- Updating performance should now be faster. It used to be the case that two system restore points were created during update (one for uninstall, and one for re-install), but now only one is created to cover the entire transaction.
Fixed:
- Ctrl+Alt+0 now works for "View actual size". This is not listed in the View menu as a shortcut, but should help those used to keyboard commands from Photoshop, etc.
- Some plugins that were causing stability problems are now blocked from loading. They will show up in the File->View Plugin Load Errors dialog.
- Old effect plugin DLL's that have since been integrated into Paint.NET (Glow, Portrait, etc.) are now blocked from loading.

- For revamped effect configuration dialogs, the first textbox is now auto-selected instead of the OK button. This makes keyboard usage more convenient.
- Close/Cancel button flickering while downloading an update
- The floating tool windows (Tools, History, Layers, Color) will double-check that they are on-screen when they are toggled on/off
- If two images had the text tool active and both had active text being edited, then Backspace would not always be routed to the correct image
- Open/Save dialogs in Windows Vista with high-DPI would sometimes have garbled thumbnail rendering (fixed by adding "high DPI aware" flag to EXE manifest instead of using SetProcessDPIAware function)
- Some minor high-DPI glitches in new UI features
- For newly revamped effect configuration dialogs, the focus rectangle ("dotted rectangle") for sliders is drawn only when necessary
- Several rare crashes
