THE PAINT TUTORIAL :)

PAINT TUTORIAL

So, this is a little tutorial for all those who work with paint, i hope ther will be things that could help you even if you think you know how it works. I'm not an expert, but i see that there are many people who have problems with resizeing their sigs etc...

1) Opening images- right click on picture and than edit
                              - opening paint- file-open (to open just 1 image)
                              - opening paint- edit- paste from (to insert multiple images)
2) Resizing a whole image- image- strech/skew
- image- attributes (to choose your image size in inches, cm, pixels,                     or make it black and white)


3) Flipping, rotating, inverting colours- also in the image tab
4) Croping a picture or cutting out parts of it- look at pictures












Ok, that's just for one picture, if you want to put more pictures in one, than here is an easy way to do that

1) Open one image that is your background (or without background just open paint)
2) Strech/skew, rotate, flip if you want
3) Click on edit- paste from and than choose a picture
4) You can also strech/skew, rotate etc.this picture, but only when it's marked (this means when you clicked paste, and you didn't click any other tool after that)- look at picture
5) We can now insert more and more pictures, or copy the old ones (right click on MARKED picture (this is important) and then paste click anywhere in the picture (or, if you want to make it faster, click ctrl+c for copy, ctrl+v for paste, crtl+x for cut)
6) Now we have a picture with more fliped, resized, pictures














7) if you want to add a text into your picture –click on text toolbox. There you can also choose white text background or invisible
8) if you want to move your text to another part of the picture just use the select tool (the quadrat on the top of the color box and move it...see picture








Ok,i know that this picture looks not so good, but on a white background it's more easy to cut out parts, move text,....

9) if the text toolbox or color toolbox dissapears, just click on view- and than mark- toolbox,test box or whatever

10) If your text runs down in to the next line (like this), then you can just move the arrows left or right, wherever to make it fit into one line
11) you can also copy and paste your text, move it up and down and make a whole picture made of text...
12) save your picture- you can choose between gif,jpg, bmp, bmp monchrome etc..if you want to steal the colour from your painting –use bmp monochrome (it will warn you before you do that), if you want to use your picture for a sig or a contest, then it's the best to use bmp, jpg  gives the picture a little blur effect, but i think that some pictures can be saved just in jpg (paint tell you if this happens)


Another, maybe shorter way to insert many pictures, but resizing them before:
1) Open paint
2) Go to my computer and choose there some nice pictures, click one every picture- right click and then –edit- (every picture will be opened in a new paint window)
3) Edit every picutre in his paint window (or not, like you want)
4)  Use the select or free-form-select tool (the star and the quadrat), cut you pictures or parts from your picutres out and then paste them to the original-big-picture








Some tips if  you use this- you can't paste a picture if you're in text tool!!

UPLOADINGD pictures:
1) search on google for –image hosting- or go to www.imageshack.com, www.picoodle.com ....etc...

Hmmm...i don't know id now everything is explained, but ,,,i hope so...
You can also resize your picture in a photoshop or irfan view (a simple small program with some cute functions )
