INTRODUCTION
Paint is a program used to create drawings on a blank canvas. The drawings can be deposited on the desktop or in other applications if need be. Scanned pictures or photographs can be viewed and edited with a Paint program.
DEFINITION OF MICROSOFT PAINT
Paint is a simple picture editing program which usually comes with Microsoft Windows. The Paint programme can be used to draw common shapes such as ovals, polygons, triangles, curves, and so on. The drawings can be in black-and-white or coloured and can serve as bitmap files. They can also be saved, edited and printed. Paint work can be pasted into another document and it can also be used to view and edit scanned pictures. The program opens and saves files in Windows bitmap, JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group), GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), PNG (Portable Network Group), and single-page TIFF (The Image File Format) formats. It is still widely used for simple image manipulation tasks.
