    Here is a tutorial about the lesser known tricks in paint.

    1: Custom brush size

    TO change brush size just hold down ctrl and push + to increase size and - to decrease.
    2: Custom brush shape

    First draw your shape then select and set transparency on. Next hold shift and draw.
    3: Lines from lines (requires mouse wheel)

    While drawing a line simply scroll down with the mouse tool.
    4: Color replacement

    Select the eraser tool,and put the color you want to place as primary color and the other as secondary. After that hold right click and color over what to replace.

    I have to agree. Get GIMP. It is a million times better than Paint. I frickin deleted Paint off of my computer because of how bad it sucks. GIMP isn't quite as good as Photoshop, but for those of us who can't dish out $600 for the newest edition of PS, it is good. here is a link to DL GIMP: HERE

    Hey, MS paint has done me well over the years, don't flame it.
    And these tricks are quite good, I already knew the brush size and eraser tips, but the rest I didn't know. Oh, and Paint.NET is the best.

    Have you guys even wondered that maybe he has gimp, hes just showing us some tricks in paint? Hell I have gimp, and I would definitely use these tricks when I'm bored.

    Anyway, these are really nifty. I never knew there were any inside tricks in paint, until now. I'm going to try to some out right now.

    I have a mac so I have no need to have paint at all.
