Windows 10: Microsoft Paint - How to do custom zoom?

I'm talking about the old regular Microsoft Paint. If you open it, and in the lower-right corner you have a zoom option. By default it's at 100%. And it can only be increased to 200%.

I bought a new lap top recently, and 100% is too small, but 200% is too large. Is there any way I can force it to show me 150%, or some other custom percentage?

p.s I'm not interested in using a different program. I'd like to make this work on Microsoft Paint.

Thanks *Smile

HELP!! - Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

I'm now running Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7 & I have the same continuous problem with the update

• Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

I tried your Method 1 to fix it which said changes have been made to my computer & to try & update again which failed.. again & the same message above came up again. My laptop is secure as I run Norton 360, so what should I do next to try & fix this problem?
My laptop is a Toshiba satellite L650.

Thank you

Microsoft Paint 3d User Manual

There is no user guide published by Microsoft for Paint 3D. There are a couple of good to-do guides available for Paint 3D on internet. I will recommend following

https://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft-pain...

https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-use-mic...

https://www.howtogeek.com/303492/how-to-use-mic...

You can also go to Youtube and search for Paint 3D to learn through videos.

 

I do not use it but Paint.Net is a great alternative.


Paint.NET - Free Software for Digital Photo Editing

 

Thanks for the reply, but I have to use regular old Paint. I just switched to Windows 10 a few days ago and that's already a bit of a learning curve from Windows 8.1. Half the things I want to do can't be done on Windows 10. But whatever. So I don't want to add more on my plate by now switching from MS Paint to something else.

If anyone knows of a way to allow me to set a custom zoom level in Microsoft Pain on Windows 10, please tell me how.

Thanks *Smile

 

Mine does the same thing....except I can increase mine to 800%. I'm not sure it you can alter it's default slider settings which seem to be in increments of 100 once you go past 100. But below 100 it works in 1/4's or 25% scale all the way down to 12.5%. So you may have to use some third party software and paint.net is a good one.

It will do 150%

 

There is no way that is why I recommended Paint.net, it is easier to use than Paint.

 

I love MS Paint but that zoom slider is one annoyance I really hate. Usually the image I want to crop or edit is too zoomed in or too zoomed out. *Smile

MS Paint 3D is neither an option, I hate that tool. 3D features added that are totally useless in my honest opinion. It's a freaking toy at best.

!!BUT!! that one supports Zooming with 1% increments. Give it a try. *Wink
