Don't laugh at my ignorance but help enlighten the computer illiterate artsie..^_^

Is it possible to save an image on micro-soft paint in gif or jpeg format?

If so, how?

You mean the one that is in the accessories directory?  the paint program that comes with windows?  No, it only can save in bmp and some other format.  What you could do is copy your image and paste it in another paint program application, or save it to the clipboard, and then save it as a windows metafile (wmf).

Oh, okay..JAK..

I have more stupid questions..say I wanted to upload an image does it have to be in gif and jpeg format or can it be in another format..say the one you mentioned..or in eps or tif for example..


See I scanned this sketch of mine at school and saved it as gif using PhotoDeluxe and then uploaded my image..The thing is I want to rotate this pic and I don't have Photoshop at home..so I'm kinda experimenting with what I have.

I rummaged thru old cds and found this Print Artist Program..
And I'm reading the little instruction manual..it says  that I can export files in the following formats tif, bmp, eps., .wmp..

but then did I just answer my own question.. if I can export these files then does that mean I can upload them in these formats..

I'm confused...I think it's better if I just stick to photoshop at school.. instead of all this experimenting..

AWW,

Yes it is, depends upon which Operating System you are using. If it is Windows 2000 Professional(like I have) then you can save the image in Gif, Jpeg, MonoChrome or Bitmap.

And Sis Meri you can also rotate the image as well, within Paint if you click on Image and then select the first option Flip/Rotate , it should present to you options of rotating the image. I've managed to rotate an image, however this is in Windows 2000.

If you get stuck drop another post, I'll try and help yah.

Salam,

Unfortunately, I have the ancient system..windows 95..

Yeah, I managed to rotate my image on the paint I have but it would cut off a section of my sketch..

and I discovered that most of the space in my comp is used up so I can't install that other program I found..

So I think I have no choice but to use photoshop at school..

But JAK for your help.
