Do you use Windows Paint?

[albator]

I have very simple requirements.  Don't even have another paint program......

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If you want a free, simple and small painting program. I recommend using photofiltre, a standalone paint program wich is very good and only take 3.14 meg of installation...

For Paint I dont since nlite remove all optionals components...

[bledd]

for really simple tasks, I use the photo editor that comes with office, for everything else, I use Pshop

removed paint with nlite a while ago

[matthewk]

i highly recommend any1 outhere to move over 'The GIMP' which is free and has many more functions

Thanks for this suggestion; I am checking it out http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html#gtk -- note to others: gtk seems needed to use this.

I do not see this in my Office 2003 Professional; how can I get this photo editor? I remember what it looks like -- good app.

Always loved MS Paint although Paint.NET is a better replacement.

I'm going to take a look at this one too. http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/download.htm -- incase anyone wants to as well.

Photofiltre looks neat as well. screenshot: http://photofiltre.free.fr/utilitaires/scr_photofiltre.htm download: http://photofiltre.free.fr/download_en.htm

one word "photofiltre".

[nimda]

i have used it, to paste screenshots using the 'print screen' key.  thats about it.

Same here. What's great is that you can save it in JPEG format in the end.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Same here, but JPEG is compressed and I don't really think that windows uses a good one (prolly some cheaps*** one they stole off someone like everything else), so maybe save in BMP and then convert ..

Like most people mentioned, I use it only for fairly basic image-editing tasks.

However, since I have almost as much artistic talent as a very dirty rock some poor soul found stuck in a crevice near the bottom of the ocean, the only image-editing I ever do is very simple.

Viva la Paint!

[EchoNoise]

Hell yeah of course I use Paint!!! Just look at what I can do with it!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

*cough*

[Lost Soul]

i use it for basic screen shots

[rikgale]

I replaced M$ Paint with Paint.NET ages ago.

I remove Paint using nLite and silently installed Paint.NET using RunOnceEx. I've not looked back to the day where I binned Paint, Calc and Notepad.

Long live, Paint.NET, CalcPlus and Notepad++

Exactly the same here.

I used it a lot back in the Qbasic programing days ... when a screen of 320x200 and 256colors was all you had anyways ... making little characters for small games ... not so much anymore. At work it is nice to use(very bored usually). Now it is just Photoshop for me.

I use it for quick things, such as simple screenshots!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Like DigeratiPrime I use it only for print screen

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yup... Other than that... PhotoShop.

[sk3]

i only use for screenshots loading photoshop just to paste a screenshot is wasting to much time (and photoshop cs2 takes more time to load than CS)

[Redcloud]

I use it to look at my bmp images. I use another program to create bmp images called Pint Express. I tried other bmp image creation programs, but Paint Epress creates higher quality images that I can download to my Garmin GPS unit. Paint Epress created itself as the default bmp viewer, but I reverted the default back to Paint so that I can just view the images without having to go into the edit or creat mode. I'm happy with that.

Yes I do use MS Paint for only one reason.

From some products and screen print, I cant paste direct into photoshop for some reason. So I use paint as a midway cut-n-paste between products.
