With so many robust features like Zoom and Erase, for 32 years Microsoft paint has challenged artists to dream bigger. It’s told them to not accept limits on their digital creations and demand the ability to copy and paste, to crop and resize, to fill in a color, to imagine a better world…
Much like Photoshop, opening Microsoft Paint for the first time can be an intimidating experience. You just want to create your Grumpy Cat meme, why does this program have to be some complicated!?!?
Have no fear, Aaron Nace and the Phlearn team are here to help you with our brand new tutorial, Phlearn’s Ultimate Guide to Microsoft Paint.
NOTE: If you are on Mac, you can use a tool like Paintbrush (https://paintbrush.sourceforge.io/) to practice your Paint skills. The Phlearn staff has downloaded and verified its Paint-like functionality.
