Microsoft Paint Embraces Photoshop's Best Features: Layers and Transparency
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Verge
Microsoft Paint is introducing support for layers and transparency, two core features of Adobe Photoshop, in an update currently being tested by Windows Insiders. Users will be able to add, move, reorder, merge, and duplicate layers, allowing for more advanced art creation with stacked image elements. The update also includes support for opening and saving transparent PNG files, complementing the recently added background removal tool. This move by Microsoft aims to provide Windows users with easy image manipulation capabilities without the need for expensive subscriptions to professional software like Photoshop.
