It's cute that they're calling layers and transparency "some of Photoshop's best features". That's pretty insulting to Photoshop.
Now these two features is in paint, designers and artists will have a hard time deciding which software to use.
Best features historically. Not best of its current features. I doubt photoshop cares if it gets insulted also haha
Meanwhile in Adobe inc. :
Employee: Sir, another popular graphic editing application is gonna integrate layers, for free.
Excecutive: So what? Those half-assed mobile apps will never catch up with us, and if they do, we'll sue them.
Employee: I-it's actually a desktop program, sir.
Executive: Oh, another community-driven project, that is gonna replicate our features for free! Nobody is gonna pay attention to that garbage, because people now are too stupid & lazy now to even type a web address.
Employee: Sir, it's Microsoft Paint.
Executive: F*CK!! 🤯
Yeah I thought they meant the cloning stamp, which is what I think most people new to editing use photoshop for.
