Microsoft has released an update for Paint on Windows 11, introducing the freeform rotate feature in version 11.2601.391.0. This update allows users to rotate selections, shapes, or text to any angle, a significant improvement over the previous limitations of 90 or 180-degree rotations.
New Rotation Capabilities
The freeform rotate feature provides users with a rotate handle for intuitive adjustments. For more precise control, users can select 'Custom rotate' from the Rotate menu and input a specific angle. This enhancement caters to user demands for greater flexibility in image editing.
Availability and Access
The update is currently being rolled out to Windows Insiders in the Dev and Canary channels. Those eager to access the feature immediately can manually download the necessary msix bundle from store.rg-adguard.net. This update follows Microsoft's recent addition of an AI-powered feature in Paint that generates coloring books, showcasing the company's commitment to enhancing user experience.
