Study Notes

Image Manipulation in MS Paint

Objects remain manipulable as long as they are not deselected.
Common image manipulation tools in MS Paint include:
- Crop: Trim parts of the image.
- Resize: Change the dimensions of the image.
- Skew: Alter the image's perspective either horizontally or vertically.
- Flip: Mirror the image horizontally or vertically.
- Rotate: Adjust orientation by rotating left or right by 90° or 180°.

Canvas Size Modification

Change canvas size through the “File” tab and “Properties” option.
Use keyboard shortcut “Ctrl” + “E” for canvas properties.
Adjust canvas by dragging small white dots located outside the canvas bounds.

Creating Motion Effects

Achieve a motion blur effect by holding “Shift” + “Alt” while dragging a selected object.
This technique creates duplicates that shadow the object, mimicking motion.

Color Gradient Creation

MS Paint introduced gradient functionality with Windows XP, allowing seamless color transitions.
Gradients enhance artwork by blending colors and can create cascading text effects.
Example: A gradient was created using seven colors in MS Paint 10.

Shape Creation Techniques

Perfect shapes can be created easily in MS Paint:
- Holding the “Shift” key allows for the creation of straight lines and uniform shapes.
Distinction between user-created rectangle and perfect square shows the precision offered by this feature.

Image Selection and Tools

Utilize the “Select” tool found in the “Home” tab for image selection.
Selection options include:
- Rectangular Selection: Selects within a rectangular boundary.
- Free-form Selection: Picks areas based on custom mouse movements.
- Select All: Selects the entirety of the canvas.
- Invert Selection: Switches the selected and unselected areas.
- Delete Selection: Removes the current selection, with the option to undo the action.
- Transparent Selection: Excludes canvas from the selection, isolating only the image.

Layer Functionality in MS Paint

Any added image is considered a new layer, compressing upon the addition of another object.
Similarity and difference exist between MS Paint's layers and those in advanced image-editing software.
