Tutorial for Using Paint

This is a simple tutorial. So, don't waste your time and start follow the steps and decorate whatever you want...:)

First, open the PAINT.

Then, select a picture that you want to decorate by click at the 'paste from' button and search through the file where the picture is located. If you like, you can also copy an image from the internet and paste it at PAINT.

This is the picture that I had chosen. It is a beautiful abstract picture.

Next, you can select the tools and starts decorate the picture as you like. I going to put the phrase “Imagination has no boundary” in this picture using the Text tool in the toolbar.

After that, I want to decorate the sides of the picture so that it would have a frame surrounding it. Use the variety shape at the toolbar or you can draw the frame if you want. I prefer rectangular shape as my frame. If you found that it is difficult to see the full size of the picture, you can zoom out at the VIEW to make it appear smaller.

 

This is the view after I zoom out the picture.

You also can zoom in and out using the tool at the bottom right of the paint (red arrow). 

This is the rectangular shape frame I had drawn. I pour the colour on the frame using 'Fill with color' button.

 

The frame look a bit dull. So, I start to decorate it using the tool that located in the toolbar. Here, this is what happen to the frame after I decorate it using different colour of lines and star shapes.

Lastly, you can put a signature at the bottom right if you like. This is the final product. Hope you have fun with PAINT and use it to decorate and design as it is a very simple software to understand. Remember: Imagination has no boundary…..^.^

Imagination has no boundary

Hello, everyone. Do you all know about Paint? I feel that this software is a very simple software that we can use to decorate our photo or picture that we want. We do not have to download it as it usually found in the computers or laptops. Using Paint is enough for simple designation and decoration. However, if you feel that you want a more advance designation software, you can try Abode Photoshop.

This the the product that I used Paint to decorate.

I have put a simple tutorial for the process of decorate this picture. You can see through the tutorial at the post "Tutorial for Using Paint".
