How to Download Microsoft Paint (Step by Step)
Most likely you already have it (if you use Windows!). If you are a beginner just install Windows (your OS!)! Windows typically come with Microsoft Paint; if it is not there already then the process might vary a little. In summary the procedure to find Paint usually involves exploring your start-menu; your Start-menu usually has a huge list of apps, software, and many tools that comes with your system! Look for Microsoft Paint within those menus; If there is none, well, then there might be more to it, then this might vary so check the specific model of your windows operating system to seek the steps needed to add Paint if you have that problem.

What Paint is Good For
Paint isn't a professional photo editor, it does not do amazing edits and advanced editing techniques. Think basic things only.
-
Sketching: Great for creating a rough draft for later improvement.
-
Changing images slightly: Use Paint to resize, rotate photos, and little fixes!
-
Fixing simple mistakes (adjust lines, remove something and add something or maybe just copy a whole design). It is great!
-
Drawing basic things, like kid’s drawings, shapes, and many other objects, which need very basic color or adjustments.
-
Giving a simple but lovely design: use it as a primary design or to add simple lovely touches or small tweaks that make the project better.
