  5. Image: allows you to rotate, stretch, enlarge, and flip the colors of the image.
  6. Color: You can add the color palette under this menu item. You can find more help under the question mark.

Another choice to move rectangular cutouts. The eraser and the paint pot that you can use to color areas. In addition, a pipette with which you can choose colors from the image and a magnifying glass to enlarge the work area. In the next row there is a pencil for freehand drawing and a brush that you can use to draw special line shapes. And a few other tools. Just try them out.

Christmas to print out

Example: Christmas motifs to print out a card. Insert a picture, draw a Christmas tree and insert a text.

  1. Open a new sheet in Paint and click "Edit" and "Paste From". A file directory will open showing files on your PC. Find suitable Christmas motifs, for example your tree from last year. You can move the picture when you insert it and change its size. If you want to change something, you can do so via "Edit" and "Undo".
  2. Draw fir trees as Christmas motifs. To do this, use the polygon in the toolbox (penultimate symbol in the second column). Click on the sheet and draw a horizontal line with the left mouse button pressed. Release the button when the line is the way you want it. Then click once in the middle above the line and once on the beginning of the line. You now have a triangle. Draw 3 triangles that get bigger and bigger and whose tips are roughly in the middle of the respective upper triangle. This is how a Christmas tree is created.
  3. You can color this tree in any color using the paint pot symbol, decorate it with spheres using the "Draw circles" function (next to polygon) and move it using selection or freehand selection. You can also reduce these Christmas motifs (using the arrows on the edges) or copy (edit) them. You can distribute and print out fir trees in different sizes and colors on the paper.
  4. If you want to insert some text, use the capital "A" in the toolbox. You can use Selection to enlarge or move the text.

With these elements you can design many simple Christmas motifs and print them out using "File" and "Print". Christmas motifs for printing are suitable as tags for parcels, as coloring pages or to decorate cards with them.
