Working with Paint
Paint is a piece of software that is included in with Windows
95 and Windows 98. It is a simple program that allows you to change certain
types of graphic files or to draw your own.
When you open paint, you see the window above, with the graphic tools
on the left and colors along the bottom.
The Tools all do different things as listed above.
When you OPEN a file, you may need to change the FILE TYPE in order
to see what files you have available.
When you are working on a picture, you may find it helpful to enlarge
the image. You can do this from the VIEW menu, going to the ZOOM… option
and then choosing ‘Large Size.’
When you SAVE a file, Paint will save as BMP by default, unless
you use the SAVE AS… option, as illustrated below. Then you get a choice
of the file type. You might want to change depending on how you want to
use the picture. For example, if you intend using pictures on the web,
you need to save in GIF or JPEG formats.
