Windows 7: Microsoft Paint

Microsoft Paint, that junky application that comes installed on Windows and is never used may now get used. Windows 7 has been very nice to Paint; a complete user interface makeover using the "Ribbon" style (used in Office). I found the user interface initially very confusing, but I got used to it very easily. This program is much more powerful with brushes, cropping tools, shapes, and all the other features. If the user interface was made a bit more intuitive, this would be a great application for editing basic images.

i hate da new paint. i want da old paint back!

[Samnuie]

the Zoom function(i Have found a selective zoom function) the coler selection(you cannot use right mouse selction to select your right mouse coler) selecting tool(is far to sensative, select a item then try to select an item near it, and you distort it.) there is no customizabilty, so you cant move the moenu's to ware you want. and basicly everything is in a tab menu so you endlessly have to go threw menu's to click what you want. sumory: BRING THE OLD PAINT BACK MICROSOFT!

I saw this video on a help site for the new paint, so I'm hoping you can help me:

I have most of the new MS Paint figured out, but when you're painting with just the normal brush, how do you get rid of the ligther pixels of color without going though the slow process of just darkening them yourself? Is there some button to optomize the color in the brush? Or some secret way to flood fill the line?

I remember when I had Win 7 for the first 2 days and I needed to do some really quick edits with some pics, opened paint and then -.- '' oh yeah it's the new paint '' . Then I clicked the buttons for 10 minutes and I went completely pissed and forgot about the pics. Now I am looking for a way to get the old one back. THE NEW ONE IS SHIT TOO COMPLICATED.

Why do software developers insist to keep changing everything? The new Firefox sucked, luckily you could change it to look like the old.

If it's not broke, then don't fix it!

Uhhhhhhh.....anyone has the new paint here?I lost mine.......

[vici30]

its annoying because when you draw a straight line there are those endpoints to move it and you cant make another one text to it because the control arrow appears and you have to change the tool and change back to line to be able to actually join 2 lines. if you know what i mean. how can that be avoided ?
