The layer or layers are active for the current page. Select the paint bucket tool from the toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen. In the Layer Properties dialog box, select the check box in the Active column for each layer you want to make active. Open Microsoft Paint and open the image you want to edit. On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click Layers, and select Layer Properties. Shapes you add to the page are automatically assigned to all of the active layers. You can designate more than one active layer. When you are ready to add windows, you can designate the wall layer as the active layer. All the shapes you add from then on are assigned to the electrical layer. If a shape is not already assigned to a layer, the shape is automatically assigned to the active layer when you add it.įor example, if you are ready to add electrical wiring shapes to a drawing of an office layout, you can make the electrical layer active. Making a layer active is a fast way to assign shapes to the layer as you add them to the page. MS Paint comes with every standard Windows installation.
But who knew that Microsoft Paint was so powerful and sophisticated MS Paint 5.1 (WinXP) Image created by Dawnseeker2000. However, you can use this workaround to add layers in Microsoft Paint. When you need a free, powerful image editing/creation software, people often turn to Paint.NET or The GIMP. Unfortunately, there isn’t a specific layers tool in Paint like there is in Photoshop. Note: To assign a shape to more than one layer, press CTRL and click each layer. For example, you might layer down your initial sketch first, then fill in with a more refined sketch on top.
