Details on Microsoft's plans to redesign its famous paint app
for Windows 10 started leaking over the weekend, and now
an early version of the app has appeared online for anyone
to download. Microsoft is completely overhauling its Paint
app, and the new version is designed to be a Universal
Windows app with pen- and touch-friendly features. While
a launch video demonstrates all the new 3D objects support,
the leaked app appears to have been distributed in May to
Microsoft testers.

I've had a chance to test out the new Paint app, and I'm
surprised by the speed of the application. Most Universal
Windows apps, Office excluded, often fail to demonstrate
the potential for the platform and rarely include advanced
features that are often found in desktop apps. The
animations in the app work well, and many of the basic
features are a lot easier to use with your fingers than the
previous Paint desktop app.

NO LAYERS SUPPORT JUST YET

Unfortunately, the new version of Paint doesn't appear to
include layering support, but this could be because this is
an old alpha copy that has leaked. Microsoft also hasn't
implemented many helpful shortcuts that you might find in
apps like Photoshop, or support for multiple files to be
opened at the same time. It feels like a basic photo
editing / object creation tool, and that's probably exactly
what Microsoft is aiming for.
