Microsoft announces major update to Windows 11 Paint that adds Photoshop-like project files

Microsoft has announced a major update to the Paint app on Windows 11 that introduces support for project files, a feature just like what Photoshop has where you can save a work-in-progress image as a project for opening and editing at a later point.

The new project file feature will save your Paint projects as .paint files, and will let you resume a project with multiple layers and edits, just like in Photoshop. "We’re introducing project files, you can now save your creation as an editable Paint project file and seamlessly pick up where you left off" says Dave Grochocki, Microsoft Principal Group Product Manager.
