Try changing the order of layers in this panel to see how the order of stacked image elements on the canvas changes. This is where you can add new layers to the canvas. To get started, click on the new Layers button in the toolbar, which will open a panel on the side of the canvas. With layers, you can stack shapes, text, and other image elements on top of each other. You can now add, remove, and manage layers on the canvas to create richer and more complex digital art. Layers make creating and editing complex images much easier, and transparency enables better PNG support and a proper way to erase content on layers (instead of filling it with solid color). The updated Paint is now rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Dev and Canary Channels under version 11.2308.18.0. The app has just received two new major features: transparency support and layers.
That is not everything Microsoft has in store for Paint. It introduced a background removal tool, letting you get rid of image backgrounds with only a few clicks.
Earlier this month, Microsoft released a substantial update for Paint, one of the oldest inbox Windows apps.
