Microsoft has began to roll out an replace for the Paint app after 38 years with assist for picture ‘transparency’ and ‘layers’.

The firm is rolling out the replace to Windows Insiders within the Canary and Dev Channels.

“Today we’re starting to roll out an replace for the Paint app to Windows Insiders within the Canary and Dev Channels (model 11.2308.18.0 or greater). With this replace, we’re introducing assist for layers and transparency,” Dave Grochocki, Principal Product Manager for Windows Inbox Apps, said in a blogpost on Monday.

With this update, users will now be able to add, remove, and manage layers on the canvas to create richer and more complex digital art. With layers, they can stack shapes, text, and other image elements on top of each other.

“When you combine layers, transparency, and other tools in Paint, you can create exciting new images and artwork! For example, when combined with the new background removal feature, you can quickly create interesting layered compositions,” Grochocki mentioned.

The options usually are not but out there to all Windows customers, however they’re anticipated to be made out there quickly.
