It seems good old Paint has helped shape art and design worldwide over the past 25 years or so, partly by allowing millions of children to dabble in graphic art and design from a young age, and thereby encourage and develop their hidden talents into adult-hood. Now You: which image editor do you prefer, and why? Microsoft did not reveal if the new Paint application will come to Windows 10 as well, or if it will remain a Windows 11 exclusive.

Free alternatives such as GIMP or are available, as well as commercial applications such as Adobe Photoshop. Ultimately, the redesigned Paint app is still Paint, a limited image editor that many users will replace with a program that is more powerful. Paint is still paint for the most part though. In the new Paint, options to change the font type, size and other parameters are displayed in a small bar underneath the main toolbar of the application. If you selected the text option in classic Paint, Paint would switch to the Text tab automatically. The main difference are updated designs, the color option icons are rounded now and no longer squared. Compared to the classic version, most icons are still available in their original location. The interface of the new Paint application looks like a modern version of the classic Paint application for the most part. The redesigned app includes a new text tool, which users may access with a click on the A-button in Paints interface. Paint, and not Paint 3D, comes with a 'simplified toolbar with updated icon designs, a rounded color palette, and a new set of drop-down menus for tools such as brushes, stroke size, and flip/rotate controls' Microsoft writes. The company notes that the redesigned app is a 'modern spin on the classic app' that 'matches the new visual design of Windows 11'. Microsoft published a post on the Windows Insider blog about the new Paint application this week. Microsoft tried to replace it with Paint 3D, a year after the release of Windows 10, but kept Paint around, and even moved it to the Microsoft Store. Microsoft Paint has been the default image editor on Windows for a long time.
