Developed in , MS Paint, which was originally known as Paintbrush, allows users to paint on their computers. At the time, this was an exciting new tool for aspiring artists. They can change a joyful image into a serious one with the right tools. Users are also able to create a unique image by using the default blank screen.
With the tool box, users can choose from an array of functions for their next amazing photo. The text tool is ideal for those looking to add text to an existing image. The color picker allows users to choose a specific color from the image for drawing. The eraser is handy if the user is looking to completely remove part of an image.
The magnification tool is great for those looking to get a closer look at a certain section. Copyright c Microsoft Corporation. Approximate size 9. Age rating For all ages. Category Entertainment.

The joy of Paint is simply playing around with the tools and seeing what artworks you can create. With a few swooshes, drags and clicks, you can create weird arrangements of overlapping shapes filled with color. You can erase sections, paint and draw freehand lines, and add airbrush effects and text in a range of fonts. You can even add a transparent background. Do this on a blank canvas or on an imported picture and then set it as your computer's desktop image.
While the tools available in Paint are limited, their artistic uses are as restricted as a user's imagination. Plus, there are lots of articles online that reveal some of the surprisingly creative things that MS Paint can do. Of course, Paint attracts criticism for being too simplistic but those looking to do elaborate graphic design or image manipulation should look elsewhere.
Photoscape , Gimp , and Krita , for example, all feature advanced tools while remaining more user-friendly than Photoshop. Of course, part of MS Paint's enduring appeal is inevitably wrapped up in a touch of nostalgia. Anyone who grew up in, or began using computers, in the 90s will almost certainly already know — and likely love — Paint.
For many, using the program was the first time they realized that computers could be used for art. It's not just casual users who love Paint though. Even serious artists are fans of the program. Famed Beatle and artist Ringo Starr has been using the application for decades and has exhibited his artwork created with Paint.
Meanwhile, the artist behind the massively successful internet blog, Jim'll Paint It, uses Microsoft Paint to create his surreal and hilarious crowdsourced images. The long-running collection of webcomics, MS Paint Adventures, were originally created using the program. Paint's simplicity as a program belies the amazing creative results that it can achieve. The user interface resembles other Microsoft programs, with the features aligned on the top and on the left side.
The new features are straightforward, with a menu on the left and an object panel on the right side of your screen. You can start building a model from scratch or grab a prebuilt design to work on. Other tools let you drag them across the Z-axis to add depth to your 3D image.
Overall, MS Paint retained much of its old charm while staying relevant for modern Windows users.
