About this tag
The multilayer editing tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Microsoft Paint's recent update that introduces .paint project files and an opacity slider. These features allow users to save and reopen layered compositions, making Paint a more viable free alternative to Photoshop for basic image editing. The update is currently available to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev channels. Topics include how multilayer editing works in Paint, comparisons to other editors, and the implications for casual and entry-level users. The tag focuses on Paint's evolution as a layer-capable tool rather than professional-grade software.
