Question Microsoft Paint in Windows 11 - - - versions with and without layer function ?

[Oblivion77]

Dear all

The first Paint version in Windows 11 (pre layer function) and the newest version of Paint in Windows 11 (with layer function)
Do they write / create a 24-bitmap file the exact same way?

Paint 11.2311.30.0 – latest Paint version – with layer function
Paint 10.2104.17.0 – first Paint version – without layer function

1.
Run the old Paint 10.2104.17.0 – first Paint version – without layer function
Don’t open another file
Make the canvas 100 x 100 and all white
Save the default motive as:
24-bit bitmap

2.
Run the newest Paint 11.2311.30.0 – latest Paint version – with layer function
Don’t open another file
Make the canvas 100 x 100 and all white
Save the default motive as:
24-bit bitmap

You are welcome to send me the files, or compare them yourself.

How to compare two files, bit by bit
fc /b “file directory\filename.(format)” “file directory\filename.(format)”

what are you looking for?

If the early Windows 11 Paint versions before layer function, that they write / create a 24-bitmap file the exact same way as the lastest Windows 11 Paint version with layer function?
Compare them bit by bit.

Could anyone help me with above experiments?

Thank you

@Oblivion77

File types being .bmp?

From Post #3 : "Compare them bit by bit."

What about Powershell's "Get-FileHash"?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/p...hell.utility/get-filehash?view=powershell-7.5

From the link:

"The purpose of hash values is to provide a cryptographically-secure way to verify that the contents of a file have not been changed."

Looking for changes is one thing. Looking for differences is another.

You will need a common starting point from which to create and save the files being tested via the described scenarios.

Will second @rgd1101 's posted question: "what are you looking for?"

E.g., Are you asking for members to send you .bmp files?

Provide more information along with the results of whatever testing/experimenting that you have done.

I would like to know, if the two Paint versions:
Paint 11.2311.30.0 – latest Paint version – with layer function
Paint 10.2104.17.0 – first Paint version – without layer function

Create a .bmp / 24-bitmap file the exact same way, that the bits are identical

Thank you

 

[rgd1101]

what if it is the same or different?
not sure if anyone will take their time for this.
why don't you do it yourselves?

Which comes down to the same old question. Why is this important? What is the specific need to know this?
