微软正为Windows 11的Paint应用带来两项重大更新，使其功能更接近Photoshop。用户将能够以项目文件格式保存Paint作品，并保留图层信息，方便后续编辑。同时，新增的不透明度滑块允许用户精细调整画笔和铅笔工具的透明度，为创作带来更多可能性。这些功能正在面向Windows Insider用户进行测试。此外，Snipping Tool也获得了快速标注功能，让截图编辑更便捷。

🎨 **项目文件保存与图层支持**：Paint应用即将支持将作品保存为可编辑的项目文件（.paint格式），并能保留图层信息。这意味着用户可以随时中断并恢复创作，就像在Photoshop中一样，极大地提升了工作流程的连续性和灵活性。

🖌️ **不透明度滑块功能**：新增的不透明度滑块让用户能够精确控制画笔和铅笔工具的透明度。通过简单的滑块操作，即可调整工具的显现程度，从而实现更细致的色彩混合和叠加效果，为图像创作增添了更多层次感。

📸 **Snipping Tool增强**：Windows 11的截图工具Snipping Tool也迎来了更新，增加了快速标注功能。用户可以直接在截图中进行高亮、书写、擦除以及重新裁剪等操作，使截图后的编辑和分享过程更加高效便捷。

💡 **AI功能集成至记事本**：对于Copilot Plus PC用户，记事本应用将免费集成AI驱动的写作、总结和改写功能。此功能利用本地模型，无需Microsoft 365订阅，用户可以根据需求在本地和云端模型之间切换，提升内容创作效率。

Microsoft has been steadily improving its Paint app for Windows 11 in recent years with a dark mode, transparency and layers, and even AI-powered image creation. Now, Microsoft is adding two new Photoshop-like features to Paint.

You’ll soon be able to save your Paint creations as a project file, much like a Photoshop Document (.PSD). The Paint project files are currently being tested with Windows Insiders in the Dev and Canary Channels. “You can now save your creation as an editable Paint project file and seamlessly pick up where you left off,” explains Dave Grochocki, principal product manager lead for Microsoft’s Windows inbox apps.

Paint files will be stored with, you guessed it, a .paint file extension. Paint files will store your layers inside the file, too. “When you’re ready to return, simply open the file to launch it in Paint, right where you left off,” says Grochocki.

Microsoft is also adding opacity sliders to adjust the transparency of the pencil and brush tools in Paint. “To get started, select either tool and use the slider on the left side of the canvas to adjust the opacity to your desired level,” says Grochocki.

If you’re a fan of the Snipping Tool in Windows 11, Microsoft is also adding a quick markup feature that makes it easier to annotate screenshots. There’s a highlighter, pen, and eraser tool in the markup toolbar, as well as the ability to easily re-crop an image.

Finally, Microsoft is also adding AI-powered write, summarization, and rewrite as a free feature inside Notepad for Copilot Plus PC users. You won’t need a Microsoft 365 subscription to use this, but Grochocki says you can “seamlessly switch between local and cloud models based on your needs.” Microsoft is using the local models on Copilot Plus PCs to power this Notepad feature.
