Question Microsoft Paint on Windows 11 - Versions with and without layer feature?
Dear all
The initial Paint version in Windows 11 (without layer support) and the most recent Paint version in Windows 11 (with layer support) produce identical 24-bitmap files.
Paint 11.2311.30.0 – current Paint version – with layer function
Paint 10.2104.17.0 – initial Paint version – without layer function
First steps:
Execute the older Paint 10.2104.17.0 – first Paint version – without layer support
Avoid opening additional files
Set the canvas size to 100 x 100 and fill it with white
Preserve the default motive as a 24-bit bitmap
When early Windows 11 Paint versions without layer support produced a 24-bitmap file, they followed the same process as the most recent Windows 11 Paint version that includes layers. Examine each step closely.
File formats with .bmp extensions?
In Post #3, someone mentioned comparing them bit by bit.
Regarding PowerShell's "Get-FileHash", the link explains its role in securely verifying file integrity.
The goal is to detect any alterations to a file's contents.
You'll need a consistent starting point for testing the files described.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?
I would like to find out if the two Paint versions:
Paint 11.2311.30.0 – the most recent Paint version with layer function
Paint 10.2104.17.0 – the earlier version without layer function
Can be converted into .bmp / 24-bitmap files with identical bits, just like before.
This concerns the fundamental issue at hand. Understanding its significance is crucial for addressing the precise requirements involved.
I was just wondering
I tried an experiment on my own:
Windows 10 with an older Paint version
I opened Paint and made a 10x10 24-bit bitmap file A
Sent file A to another system running Windows 11 with the latest Paint version
On the same machine, I opened Paint 11 and created file B
Comparing the two files bit by bit
They match perfectly
That's how it turned out
