Arrr, me hearties! Microsoft be havin' grand schemes fer Paint, and we be mighty impressed with the shenanigans goin' on in their testin' grounds.
In addition to layers, Paint now has a transparency effect, with a checkboard pattern representing transparent parts of an image. The app also supports the opening and saving of transparent PNG image files. Another interesting feature spotted in the new version of Paint is an AI-powered image generation feature called 'Cocreator'. This feature allows users to describe an image and have it composed for them, including specifying art styles.
The inclusion of AI-powered image creation in Paint is not entirely surprising, as it is already available in Bing AI. However, the introduction of layers to Paint is unexpected, as it is a feature that was previously hacked into the app. Microsoft's decision to officially introduce layers and other enhancements to Paint demonstrates the company's response to user demands and the evolution of the software. Paint has come a long way in recent years, considering that there were discussions about discontinuing the software in 2017. Overall, these upgrades show how Microsoft is continually improving its products to meet the needs and desires of its users.
