Microsoft Paint Tips & Tricks!

Saturday, April 4, 2009

Hullo, everybody! By reading the title above, you must be thinking, who uses MS Paint, photoshop is the bomb! Well, I have only one answer to that, you use it for quick drawings and such. By quick drawings, I mean, quickly editing pictures, coloring pictures etc. Although you may think Ms Paint is very simple, there are a few tricks to it, that make it a little bit more interesting. Trick #1 - If you've noticed that the size limit for the paint brush, lines, pencil tools are too small, you've noticed incorrectly. If you've ever needed to make the size of the tool bigger for what ever reason, you can. Click the tool you want to enlarge, hold Ctrl and press the '+' button on your keyboard. Holding it down will keep increasing it until you let go. Now, you have a bigger paintbrush or line tool! This can come in handy if your picture is big and you are shading a part of it. Trick #2 - Custom Paintbrushes! You can create a design of a paintbrush then actually use that paintbrush to make cool drawings! Simply draw up a little paintbrush design and make a rectangle around it with the selection tool. Hold down the Shift key and drag around the little design you drew up. Now, you can make patterns and designs with the custom paintbrush! Trick #3 - If you ever wanted to change the color of a line around a box, but it was too small to keep filling in the color with the fill tool, you can use the color replacement trick. On the main color box, choose the color you are replacing, in the secondary color box, put in the color you want. Click the eraser tool and hold down left click and sweep over the lines of the drawing. This will change the line color of the drawing to the color you wanted! If you know anymore tricks, please post them in the comments, so that everyone can learn and apply them to Ms Paint. Thanks for reading!
