What is your opinion on Microsoft Paint? Auto-translated

You probably think that Paint is just a regular graphics editor... for amusing pastime... drawing circles, squares, filling them with various colors;) and the masterpiece is ready =):smile12: :rolleyes: :smile53:
If you think so, I will try to prove that this is not the case ;):smile04:
to convince some people, they will have to Download from WebFile.RU a file - which I advise everyone to watch
after watching it, I'm waiting for your comments.
one BUT - don't talk about what happens there and what the result is ;)

I strongly recommend that people who think that Paint is a primitive graphics editor watch it ;)

Well, obviously, GIMP is better. But not everyone needs it. I used to use Paint to add text to images and for other simple tasks. Yesterday, I installed Paint.NET – it's something in between Paint and GIMP, and I'm getting the hang of it.

Hmm... I work professionally with Photoshop, but I still love and use Paint... for example, to save a screenshot or to sketch on a tablet, just for fun... Paint is a universal tool! It even has a transparent background... I still have some of my drawings from back then, when I had a small, old computer with a tiny display, and I couldn't even dream of Photoshop... it was around 2001, I think, so I was about 14 years old... this is what I used to create... :)

P.S. I'm teaching my friend's daughter how to use a computer - she's little and wants to draw, so Photoshop is too complicated for her right now, but she enjoys drawing in Paint and does it very well... for a beginner, it's a treasure... :)

Regarding what you posted - it's great! But I think that now, knowing the laws of color and painting, I could repeat something like that or create something similar... of course, with a graphics tablet... in the video, they clearly didn't just use a mouse...

Yura, I downloaded it and watched it... It's simply amazing! I'm not an expert, I don't use any programs, and if I draw, I do it the old-fashioned way: with a pencil on paper! But I didn't think that Paint was capable of such things :) I recommend everyone to watch it :)

If this is the video that Nazg sent me the link to (even before this thread was created), then yes... it's interesting! I can hardly believe that something like this can be done in Paint...

P.S. I hope I haven't revealed any secrets.

Hmm... I'm a professional in Photoshop.

This is basically what I had the patience and skill for...
I can't draw at all, not even using grids – I draw crookedly. But with a mouse, it's different... I can do a little painting here =);) :) This is just a preliminary sketch. I want to finish it, but I don't have enough time =);)
P.S. By the way, I can share 2 videos on how to draw in Photoshop ;) I was also shocked;)

For example, how to save a screenshot or draw sketches on a tablet just for fun.

By the way, in the suggested video, as far as I understand, a tablet wasn't used... ;)

Otherwise, I only do collages and photo editing;) I can post some of my works ;)

I mostly do collages and photo editing. I can post some of my works.

I have a lot of collages... I even had an exhibition last year... :o I can post them, but I'll have to compress them 20 times because of the file size.

Here's one of my test works ;) (I also had to significantly reduce the size).
Actually, I specialize more in photo editing and similar things ;) I have more works in that area ;)
I've been working with Photoshop for about 4 years now =) I know almost everything... but I don't know how to use many features +).

and in general – I’ll show you now what can be achieved with a collage =) (these are not my works... they were taken from http://demiart.ru/)
each detail is a different picture...

I enjoy creating collages that reflect my mood and have a unifying psychological theme (and I also use my own photos)... there are many such works online, as you showed, but these are not taken to heart by enthusiasts... it's better to look at the collages of Bereniki or El Magnus http://www.almagnus.com/index.htm... I work more in this direction... and if you want to improve your technique, I highly recommend buying Martin Evening's reference book - it describes all the effects and many techniques... no courses can provide this... I've also been buying the magazine "Photo MASTERSKAYA" for a couple of years... it comes with a disc - programs, video tutorials, brushes, and other Photoshop extras... the contests there are good... I like these works by El Magnus (the last work by Vereniki)... they make your blood run cold and you want to indulge in some dreams... (I removed the photos - I'm out of meters... they are all available at the link).

I'm learning by trial and error, or by following tutorials that I've downloaded or watched on sites like Demiarte.
... but I prefer this kind of collage... that is, not abstract collages like the one you posted, but rather combining a realistic image from several sources =)))
I like this genre more ;)

Paint is indispensable, especially for quickly saving screenshots and making simple edits. Of course, other programs are more suitable, but Paint is always at hand and loads in seconds.

=)))))))))

But I didn't think Paint was capable of such things. I recommend everyone to take a look.

golden words =))))))))))))

I never managed to download the file, but the pictures are really awesome. Although, I also know how to work with Photoshop, but the lack of imagination (or rather, its complete absence) ruins everything.

Here are some more of my favorite works: :smile02:
