This tutorial will show you how to adjust the opacity level of your strokes with the Pencil and Brush tools in the Paint app in Windows 11.
The Paint app included in Windows 11 is a simple and powerful graphics editor with a range of uses. You can edit images quickly or create masterpieces with the tools in this app. Once you’re done, you’ll be able to save and share your files in almost any format.
Starting with Paint app version 11.2508.361.0 for Windows Insiders on Windows 11, Microsoft is adding an opacity slider, giving you control over the transparency of your strokes with the Pencil and Brush tools.
Here's How:
1 Open the Paint app.
2 Select a Pencil or Brush tool on the toolbar. (see screenshot below)
3 Adjust the opacity slider on the bottom left side to the percentage level of stroke transparency you want.
That's it,
Shawn Brink
