 Choose Solid Background or Transparent Background when you copy and paste part of a picture
using the Free-Form Select or the Select tool. When you use the Solid Background option, the
background color is included in your selection when you paste it somewhere else in the picture.

When you use the

Transparent
Background option,
the background color

the rest of the picture
to appear in its place.

ruler, just so you can see it
here.

• Full Screen just makes you see

the picture taking up your
entire screen. If you click it …
just click again to get back to
original ‘edit’ view.
  Rather obvious. But limited in that you can only rotate through specific degrees.
HOWEVER, from there, you can select and paste your picture into MS Word and rotate it
however much you need. So it is still useful enough.

• Flip / Rotate: Flips or rotates

the picture or selection.
• Resize / Skew: Resizes or
skews the picture or selection.
• Trims the current image to contain only what is currently selected. This is
IMPORTANT because if you save, without cropping, your picture will always
have all the extra white space.

• Select your area first … then click CROP.

• You could end up with this

picture

• Instead of this picture

 Even though MS Paint is a very limited graphics program, it is perhaps the most
useful tool for introducing new users to working with graphics programs. Much of
what we have learned in using Paint can be usefully applied to learning to use other,
more sophisticated graphics programs.
 While older versions of MS Paint were capable of working only with the .bmp file
format, Paint currently handles a variety of image formats, including of the
commonly used formats such as JPEG and GIF. This makes Paint appreciably more
flexible for working with images and converting from one file type to another.
 If all you need is a very basic image editor, Paint is a pretty good choice. Its greatest
feature, other than its simplicity, is the fact that Paint is distributed freely with the
Microsoft Windows operating system.
 Now that you are familiar with paint, you can try making your images or art work.
