Windows 10: Microsoft Is Updating Paint With New Features And Refreshed Interface

Got the Corel stuff, here..

I occasionally use Paint to do a quick resize.. or to crop an image..
if I'm feeling creative I use whatever's to hand..




- even scanning felt-tip doodles..

 

I check out the preview of the new paint and.. I didn't really like it all that much. Overall I would rather keep the old paint and have an option to use the new one if I want to. For most of my graphic work I use either Paint.net or Gimp. Both are really solid tools and free.

Can't beet free.

 

I didn't mean that "Windows Lite" should be free. It could be cheaper, though I would actually pay more for it.

MSPaint is a toy compared to some of the better, faster, lighter, free paint programs. I much prefer MetaPad to NotePad, FocurWriter or Atlantis free to WordPad, and PhoptFiltre, SmoothDraw, or ArtWeaver to MSPaint, and Maxthon or Vivaldi to Explorer or Edge, and Media Player Classic to Windows Media Player. Windows should forever stop changing associations without one's permission!

 

I meant free Applets not windows.

 

I'm with you on that BunnyJ.
I've been using paint.net for the last six years and can't really see the new Windows Paint replacing that on my PC *Smile

 

So you want something like Windows server nano that offers only kernel with some functionality. Everything else can be installed.
That would be pain for most people want to view/edit that small text file on that PC over there go find, download, install Notepad++ or something else. Want to crop that screenshot you took of your desktop good go to internet search, download install that pain.net etc.. want to copy that file well first go find and install that total commander or something else or do it in cmd *Smile
on your PC that you configured and setup the way you want it may be ok but there is lots of pc out there that you may need to perform basic actions and not all users want to go to net search risking malware sites, download wasting traffic, and install wasting more time that that task needs probably most users even cant do that..

Default Linux distributions for desktop install way more additional software than any version of windows.
if you're feeling that advanced get server version *Smile
and then even most server linux installs have vi/pico etc.. thats basically notepad in terminal *Smile

 

Paint 3D Preview now available in Store(s) near you! *Wink

Thanks for the update, Shame it's insider only. Unfortunately I don't go in for insider stuff so will wait it out. Hope it's not too long before a public release

 

No worries. It'll be available in the Windows 10 Creators Update in early 2017 for non-Insiders. *Smile

Windows 10 Creators Update and Surface Studio

 

Sounds very interesting, although I am very used to the old interface. Might have a combination of the two *Tongue.

 

Nothin' doin' yet, still same error.
