medium size.

not filling up the entire paint default.

i tried putting it to the smallest (where it would b visable) and I was unable to drag and drop a picture from the internet.

I even saved a picture and tried to insert it from there.


Should I be using a different program other then paint? Hello?!!

Noobtastic,

Here's how I get that job done using MS Paint, but there may be a better way than this.

1 way:
(a) open 1st pic in Paint, then go Image / Attributes & resize the image to enough height or width to hold the 2nd pic. That'll add white space to the right or below your 1st pic.

(b) go Edit / Past From and select your 2nd pic from wherever you have it saved.

(c) That will open the 2nd pic on top of pic 1, so you click on pic 2 & drag it to the white space to the right or below pic 1.

(d) go Edit / Select All & click the cutting tool that has the dotted rectangle (top right icon in tool box) and cut the new entire image out.

(e) Click File / New (don't save the old image) & paste the thing into a new image, then

(f) Edit / Select All & save your new big picture.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Another way:
(a) open 1st pic in Paint.

(b) Open a 2nd instance of Paint and open 2nd pic in it.

(c) In either Paint instance, go Image / Attributes & resize the image to enough height or width to hold the other pic. That'll add white space to the right or below your 1st pic.

(d) cut pic from one of the Paint windows & past it into the other Paint window.

(e) & (f) same as above.

Noobtastic,

In the tool pallet on the left side, click once on the dotted box.

Then go into the image, click once at a corner of what you want to keep, continuously hold the clicker down & drag to the diagonal corner of what you want to keep, let go. Then Edit / Cut, or alternatively press your Control & X keys on your keyboard.

The only reason to do the cutting is to make things easier. That way when you add the extra white space to hold the other picture, you can just add a lot more space than you know you need, so that you don't have to worry about being exact. Then you cut the image out as a fast way to get rid of the white space.

Instead of cutting you could always go back into Image / Attributes & eat away any spare white space by readjusting the image size, but that's harder to fuss with.

Do you absolutely have to use MSPaint? It's okay if you need a quick and dirty way to fiddle with an image, but compared to even free image editors out there, using it as a primary image editor is like trying to eat a meal with your elbows instead of a fork.

Paint.net and The GIMP for Windows are both free editors that decimate paint feature-wise.
