      https://getpaint.net/

      Some other random company got the url “paint.net”, so confusingly you need https://getpaint.net/ to download the product paint.net

      For those unfamiliar, it’s a free art program that’s… idk 80% of what photoshop is? But you can install community-made plugins to add features (shoutout to Grim Color Reaper).

      Also on their download page, you want this one:

      If you do the microsoft link, you’ll have to pay microsoft. For a free product. That microsoft doesn’t own. Dafuq.

      The paid version from the microsoft store helps to support the product; however I suspect the devs will get more bang-per-buck if you DL the free version and make a direct donation at https://getpaint.net/donate.html

    I’m a hobbyist digital artist and have had to do a handful of graphic design projects for my mundane, non-art-in-anyway job.

    As our computers are locked down Windows PCs, I’ve had to manage with MSPaint. It’s always taken me double the time as on any other program or app, and I have been wishing it had layers for years.

    Since this update is Windows 11 only, I’ll have to for my company to upgrade, so I can look forward to layers in maybe 5 years.

      Are you able to use WSL under Windows? Combined with something that can display X11 graphics (such as MobaXterm) you could pretty much use whatever Linux-based software from within the windows environment, including stuff like GIMP which does transparency and layers etc just fine
