Indeed. The third color thing is a tad unintuitive if you're using a mouse you haven't customized or something, but it's there. There's a bunch of stuff that Paint can do that isn't in the help files for some reason. Strange.

I'm thinking of doing some more advanced tutorials detailing how I actually work in Paint using these tools... If only I could figure out a way to effectively teach the bezier curve tool to someone completely unfamiliar with the tool with just text and pictures...

I knew all of this... from many years of using MSPaint to sprite crap in xD

But, the numpad thing is new to me! Does this only work with vista, or old MSPaint as well?

I'm fairly certain it works in XP as well. It should work with any tool that you can draw with as well.

I still can't get over how MSPaint now can save now in gif format.

Yeah.. That's how long I haven't touched it since I first used it to make Win98 Start/Shutting Down graphics.

But this'll come in handy if I get a tablet PC without Photoshop installed yet. <3

The third color thing I always wanted to figure out. Glad I finally got that down, haha. Thanks for that man.

Oh right, and did you ever uh, try that alt dragging trick so you can basically set up your brushes? It sounded like a cool idea, but I could never put it to an effective use.

A few good tips, thanks. :)

Third colour was new for me, too, although I think I have the old version of Paint (5.1 on XP I think) where the default palette looks like it was chosen by a six year old, and I can't seem to be able to load palettes into it anymore. =[ It's definitely different from what you've got up there.

Anyway, definitely keeping an eye on this.

Ah yeah, I can stil change the actual palette manually, one colour at a time, but Paint won't save it. =/ I'd screenshot it and paste it into the document and use the eyedropper from there on, but it's still kinda annoying.

Heh. I never knew about the 3rd color thing. I tired it on XP paint and it does it too. Really interesting.

Im using this :o
thank you c:
