Microsoft Paint versus other IMTs (such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP)

edit

Is it true to say that MS Paint is 2 dimensional and Adobe Photoshop and GIMP are 3 dimensional and also support:

  • Layers
  • Channels for layers
  • Vector
  • Anti-Aliasing

Layered models are sometimes called "212-D computer graphics"; they are not 3D.  --Lambiam 11:25, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Adobe Photoshop (and possibly GIMP) are not able to use 3D. That would be Microsoft's other paint program (which I've forgotten the name of) that's on Windows 10. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) (Stupidity by me) 14:12, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Microsoft's other paint program: presumably you mean Paint 3D. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 15:34, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
