About this tag
Multi-session editing refers to the ability to save and resume work across multiple editing sessions, preserving layers and edit state. In the context of Windows, Microsoft's Paint update introduces the .paint project file format, which enables users to save their work and pick up exactly where they left off in a later session. This feature, combined with a new opacity slider for Pencil and Brush tools, positions Paint as a free, entry-level alternative to Photoshop for everyday image editing tasks. The update is currently being tested with Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev channels before a broader rollout.
