RIP MS Paint

theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/24/microsoft-paint-kill-off-after-32-years-graphics-editing-program

Let's have a thread to reminisce about all Sup Forums related stuff we got because of Paint

this is going to mean less screencaps and less reaction images

there's no excuse for faggotry like this

anyone using Windows 10 at this point is an idiot

*fewer

Also, it's deprecated - not removed.

They can take my MS Paint when they pry it from my cold dead hands!

>he probably uses Windows 7
>which doesn't even have USB 3 support built in
Bahaha.

My earliest memory of computers was drawing a Ninja Turtle on Paint in 1990 on our first home PC.

Also my teen years when I'd find pictures of girls in swimsuits and use the erase tool to erase their clothes.

this, unless you videah or you use a very specific tool for your work (AutoCAD, Photoshop, Visual Studio, 3dMax, etc), it's stupid and not recommended to use Windows.

Use an Apple (if you have money) or Linux (if you are smart)

>there are people in this universe that don't know about the secret recolor tool

It's basically a tinyass executable file, if it actually gets removed later on you can just copy it from an older Windows version and there's a 99.9% chance it will work. Chill out.

This, it's not like they really updated the program itself, just its UI.

So use the snipping tool and/or download GIMP/Krita for free.

>implying I don't use GIMP

btw, Krita is really cool. Especially with G'MIC

how lame, having a barebones program like paint is convenient and fun

So youd look at pictures of girls with missing chunks of their bodies?

Truth be told, I'd rather have the old versions that worked than "apps" they want to charge an annual fee for. The lifespan of any Windows 7 or less machine is limited. What do I do when my machine needs to be replaced? A refurbished model? What?

microsoft's trying to shill that new paint 3d shit

>tfw using it for the first time
WTF??? WHY IS MY HOUSE PINK?

>Use an Apple

>(((Microshaft))) deleting paint in an attempt to stop meme production

IT'S AFRAID

>this is going to mean less screencaps

Good, this board is fucking awful at making them

>It's a somebody uses anything other than the pencil tool for lineart and leaves a visible white haze around the edges of each line when they fill in the picture episode

What's that?

I still have mine old instaled on Windows 8. Its great for quick doodles. New one sucks.

F

it didn't always do that, windows 10 started it

Linux is good if you don't ever want to use a piece of software again in your life and Apple is good if you are a literal cumguzzling faggot.

Windows 7 did. Educate yourself, user.

sorry I never used paint on windows 7 or used very rarely hell I barely use it now

I use Paint as a super fast crop/screenshot thing, GIMP takes its time to boot up and Paint is simple as shit and is as quick as you can get. I've used it since I first had a computer some time in, I wanna say the early 2000s, I've become so used to its mechanics that I can do what I need in the time it takes for Gimp to start up, or even finish being clicked on. It might not be great, but it's just fine.

Why fuck with it? Just leave it alone jesus fuck, people tell me to stop complaining about change but this is just change for the sake of the most pointless change.

Why is it always Windows 7 vs 10? What about Windows 8?

>Have Windows 7
>computer dies
>have to get new laptop with Windows 10 that just updates at random and shuts down on its own and makes me lose everything and then fucks up my settings completely
>now they're fucking with my MS Paint
I will fuck some shit up
I will fuck some shit up

Just use snipping tool for fast cropping

>hussie fucked up homestuck so bad MS paint killed itself out of pure shame

8 is complete garbage worse than vista

i want to still play games
doesn't linux not let you do that?
i mean, don't you have to boot into other shit, that is wasting my time!

i'll stay on win7, thank you.
unless linux does something so amazing like improve my comp by like 1000% or some shit

Yea, I thought of that, but I can just copy an image in its thumbnail/preview state and then paste it in paint in its full state if i need to and do further cropping

plus its just instinct, its in my fucking blood man, ms paint is my digital soul (for a few things) and windows is being a cunt for whatever reason

8.1 is fine.

>with this windows 10 will be adding new features--
jesus fuck how can i ensure they don't fuck me over again? i'm sick of them adding more and more features and shitting on my settings, paint being "possibly" on the removal list in the future is bad enough but i can't take having to adjust to more windows 10 fucking shit

i don't even want what i have but classic shell has made it bearable, last time my computer fucked up and restarted with updates on its own classic shell was removed and not compatible, i had to rework it for hours.

g'mic? It's a plugin for gimp (originally) with a shitton of filters and scripts.

it's a disgusting app

So when will somebody provide a knockoff Win7 with knockoff Paint, Excel, Word, etc? I just want a computer that works, dammit. I don't want a full size machine that thinks it's a shitty phone.

Holy shit. How can Sup Forums be so stupid

I downloaded GIMP, but I can't figure out how to do a damn thing with it. It's just too not the same. Thinking about trying LibreOffice's thing.

Worst timeline

this is how you know you're in "the future" that everyone referenced, this is maximum ass rape inside a caravan in the middle of the so

I'm using libreoffice for my job. Not having any problems, however I had to get used to it a bit

8.1 with classic shell is superior to 7 in every way.

windows 7 is pretty shit overall.

Hey guys, 8.1 is good if I overhaul the UI in its entirety!

an UI fix is nothing, 7 will just straight up shred your HDD for no reason.

Blame Sup Forums and their shitty memes

1. download it off of the internet
2. use it

I don't the what's the fuss all about.

bazinga

You can play games on Linux, there are ports and otherwise you can just use wine, if you are really desperate you can always just use a virtual box

What? I just installed w7 this month and it has USB 3 working just fine.

>He doesn't use the superior paint.net

Boco you need to call your senator.

This desu

WHAT?!

right click using the eraser
experiment with colors

paint is shit anyway

>Apple

No thanks Jobs Shill.

Those computers are pure branding and nothing else.

I use photofiltre anyway

It's probably still going to be on Windows 10 systems but hidden away in the programs, just like Internet Explorer and the old photo viewer app

>this is going to mean less screencaps
Are you trying to make me want Paint gone?

>my laptop with Windows 7 is gradually slowing down
>have to choose between either getting a Windows 10 laptop or crafting a desktop from scratch

Default eraser uses whatever your second color-swatch is.

Right-click eraser instead only applies said color to whatever you draw on in your image matches the first color-swatch, thus recoloring it and leaving the rest alone. Very convenient.

It was recent for me too.

>worse than vista
Come on now.

...

You have to get additional drivers for it, which depends on what the chipset maker decides. Many newer chipsets don't get them.

Choose the wrong color.

Orange on blue is hard to see.

8.1 is infinitely worse than 7, Classic Shell or not.

Because my autism wills it.

>mfw just finished the arduous nightmare for a retard like me installation of win7 on my new PC to enjoy quick n easy MSP crops and collages for years to come

How in the FUCK have I gone my entire computer-using life up to this point not knowing about this? I like reading up on hidden tricks for programs and games, and I've never heard of this before today.

George.

MSPaint isn't being removed, it's just being deprecated. It means that it won't be officially worked on or supported anymore.

An article I read elsewhere claimed that there are several deprecated items within Window's OS that have been deprecated for years at this point, yet are still present if/when you look for them.

says the brainlet microshill. I hope you love Gates see your furry porn collection.

Wait so it's actually REMOVING paint from people's computers?

That's messed up. I could understand not supporting it any more but how can you justify removing shit from people's computers that they already paid for.

>only two people know about PDN
Jesus Christ Sup Forums, even Sup Forums is smarter than you when it comes to this shit.

Hey. Retards. Before acting smug and pointing out other programs, maybe take a minute to think about what the actual issue might be.

Yes other programs exist, but MS REMOVING basic features from their OS is an issue in itself

Microsoft has been fucking their own shit up for years and years, you should be used to it by now and there's no sense in complaining about things you can't change. MS Paint is pretty crappy anyway, even just adding layers and transparency lets you make so much better OC.

It's going to be replaced with something right. I doubt they are just going to say no more imaging edit program. Sure they are going to replace it with something a bit better or something like that.

Gotta love Windows 10

Welcome Windows Art Suite

50 bucks per year service and a non upgrade service with a new version each year.

Why let Adobe have all the fun.

MS Paint worked in tangent with your main art program as a simple quick-editor.

>this fire's been burning my stove and everything on it, guess I better be used to it and let it engulf my house. :P
>yes Shekelstein, you are my bestest friend, I hate my skin now btw

I have never needed to use MS Paint. If you're still using it you're making crap.

Shit like this is why I refuse to use digital media when physical is an option. And why I don't pay for anything digital.

If I already have it on my computer, I'm fine right?

Long as you aren't running windows 10. Else you are fucked.

I'm running Windows 10 and I still have it?

Well that's gay. Guess I'll back it up to my USB

user I'm talking about people who do more than just tumblr commissions.

They'll issue a update that'll remove it.

Why not just discontinue the app but leave people who already have it alone? And just start circulating the replacement product into future products, as well as offer it to people who already have Windows 10?

Actual artists would have even LESS reason to use MS Paint.

>app

>have to choose
what
why would you not build a desktop
jesus

>Create a really good fucking OS that everyone likes
>Rather than just making incremental improvements constantly move to new OS's that are absolutely fucking terrible and everyone hates
>Every single update just does more harm than good
What the fuck is microsoft thinking?

What I was talking about are people who use it for more than "art" period, or are simply quick-piecing other appropriate imagery together.

The whole point here is having flexibility is nice, and Photoshop-tier programs do indeed beat the shit out of Paint, but for convenience and less strain over minor locks/layer-issues/etc it's nice having something that takes 2 seconds to load if your edit or geometry is something done proportionally as fast.
