    What software can I use for editing instead of Paint?


    I used to have Paint and I liked this software but Microsoft replaced it with Paint 3D which is much more complicated. I want to get the old version back. Can you help me?

    Cannot edit images when saved in Fresh paint

    Hi Kamila,

    As per the information, I understand that when you save an image drawn in Fresh Paint, you are unable to edit the image once saved.

    If the above is true, I suggest that you follow the steps below to save the image in a manner that will allow you to edit it.

    • To save your painting right click on fresh paint and click on
      Save as      . You will get an option to select the location.
    • Select the location and save the painting.
    • When you reopen fresh paint you will be on the painting you used before closing fresh paint. If you do not get the painting, you may click on image and go to the location and select the image to edit.

    For added information on Fresh Paint refer to the FAQ below

    Fresh Paint FAQ....

    Note: Also applies to 10

    Hope this helps

    Regards

    Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

    Hello,

    It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
    Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

    • On the Start menu, select Settings.
    • Go to System, then go to Default apps.
    • Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
      Photo viewer.

    Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.

    What software can I use for editing instead of Paint?

    editing text with paint in windows 10

    Hi Neil,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    In order to understand the issue better, I suggest you to answer the question below.

    • In what way you are trying to edit the photo?
    • Are you trying to remove the text which is in the photo?
    Paint doesn't have the option to edit the names which is already there in the photo, only you can remove/cut which also removes the part of the photo.

    Only option you have in Paint is to enter the text on the Photo.

    Hope this information helps. If any further issues post us to help you better.
