i have recently learned some stuff about ms paint some very usefull tricks 2 help u get that perfect pixal, maybe even some experienced pixalars might not now some these tricks

 

 

 

and i got a bit of a shading and linework guide

 

 

 

perfect circles and squares

 

have u ever had the problem where u need 2 make a perfect circle or square for that matter, well there is a way 2 get ur perfect square quick and fast just hold shift and make ur square or circle.

 

 

 

a better view

 

 

 

i think most pixalars don;t now about this 1 since u can't see it! theres actually a 10x view on ur magnicifaction thing

 

 

see that little black line thats were the 10x is

 

this is wat a 10x10 square should look liek in 10x

 

 

 

 

grid and thumbnail

 

ill basically let pics explain this 1

 

 

 

as u can see u can get a thumbnail and a grid both r very good for linework

 

 

 

 

 

ill edit this later with a shading and lineworkguide

Simple tips but yeah probably what most people aren't aware of. I myself forgot Paint had that grid thingy, useful specially for text.

Or you could get graphics gale. :shock: It has many more features- and they arent hidden!

 

 

 

Nice tips.

I still cant get the 10x to work, but the the grid and thumbnail will come in handy for me.

yup, GG>paint by a long shot in my opinion...but no one asked for my opinion :-#

I didnt know this - but if theirs one colour you wanted to change but dont want to paint in each pixel and be anoyed you can use the colour picker and pick the colour that you had their, and on the second colour use the one you want then use the rubber and use the right mouse button over it, and it changes the colour on the first box -> next box

Nice lill tut.

 

 

 

But i like GG more :XD:

thans for the 10x zoom tip :D its very usefull as u can even zoom more...

 

 

 

its a nice lill tut. :

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Paint

 

If not, do a search for mspaint[Caution: Executable File].

 

 

 

This is assuming you are using Windows OS.

oh, nvm :P i dont have OS lol.

I'm sure you do... Otherwise you wouldn't be able to reply to this.

 

Go look up what OS means. ;)

Hehe, unless your booting up all your commands in DOS or something i'm sure you do. (I.E windows = OS)

k just click 8 then click right under the blue but still in the box

I cant zoom 10x either...

 

 

 

Anyways - Nice.. that grid is awesome. Helps a lot :D

or, go to the square tool, and use it, but hold shift, and it will be a perfect square...

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Paint

 

If not, do a search for mspaint.e3e (CAUTION - executable file).

Or, if you're cool, go to start -> run and type "mspaint" into the box.

 

 

 

Graphics gale is probably better, but paint is good for it's ubiquity. It's on pretty much every windows computer in the last 11 years, so if you want to do somthing quick, you can go into paint and know how to do things faster or easier.

 

 

 

Myself, I use paint a lot, because I'm too lazy to use anything else (Gimp takes ages to load), so I knew most of this before from my experience (actually, some of it (the 10x zoom) I learned form an article like this.)

10x zoom :shock: wish i'd known that was there when i pixelled... might start a new siggeh soon eh..
