i was going to use gimp but it took me like 10 minutes to figure out how to get a blank page so i gave up on that. now i have to do paint which is really boring but at least i know how to use it. below is an image of paint and i am going to explain what each tool does.
i had sooooo much trouble getting the picture on it took me around 15 minutes and Michelle comes and does it in like 2 seconds. life saver! any ways back to the task.
the dotted rectangle on the top right corner is called 'select'. you can move a square of an original image around the page or delete it. (im not sure how to explain it)
the dotted star next to the rectangle is called 'free-form select'. it's like select but instead of moving a square you can move a random shape but while you're drawing the shape you have to keep the mouse button down.
the yellow rectangle below it is the 'eraser'. it's what you use when you want to rub something out. like the name suggests. (it's kinda obvious)
the thing to the right of it is called 'fill with colour'. if you have a shape without any gaps in the outline you can fill it with a certain colour with one click of the mouse. it's really simple.
the mini magnifying glass symbol is called 'magnifier'. it's pretty obvious because it zooms in and out.
next to the magnifier is a symbol that looks like an eye dropper but it's actually called 'pick colour'. if you click on a certain colour the 'fill with colour' changes automatically to that colour you clicked on. (i never knew what it did before this task)
below it is a pencil and you guessed it, it's called a 'pencil'. WOW! anyways you can draw lines with this but it's not as cool as the 'brush' but i'll explain the 'brush' later.
next to the pencil is the 'brush'. it's nearly the same as the pencil but you can change the thickness of the lines and whether the line is a circle or a square. however like the pencil you can change the colour of the lines.
below the 'brush' is a picture of a 'A' and this is called 'text'. you can draw a square or rectangle and then type some text in side it.
next to it is a picture of a spray can but it's called 'airbrush'. it's kinda like a spray can because the lines can be faint but if you leave the mouse in the exact same position it makes it solid. (arghhh... this is so hard to explain but im sure you know what im talking about, this is paint im typeing about here.)
below it is a diagonal line which is called 'line'. this tool helps you to draw a straight line which you change the colour of and the thickness. just a little obvious.
next to it is a squiggly line called 'curve'. it's basically the same as 'line' but you can curve it. it really annoys me when you don't want it to curve but it does anyway. has that ever happened to you because it REALLY annoys me.
there are 4 more random, useless tools that i can't be bothered to explain because no one even uses them and i doubt anyone wants to keep reading my boring blog. so im off to do my stupid english homework. YAY! i just love english, not. bye...
