Microsoft Paint Question?

Question

When I go to save a project of mine in Microsoft paint; Say I outline a square in in black and color it red. After I save and then Re-open it, The outline and the color have almost melted together. This is bad because I'm trying to match different colors to areas and I have to re-color everything. Please help me. I have a deadline to meet and this is very frustrating.

Thanks Everyone

Answer 1

Try running a white line around the square, then the colored line around the white one. I think this will give you a buffer of a line of pixels that will do it.

Basically, after you color in the square, draw a white line between the square and the squares' outline.

Answer 2

What it sounds like is that you were working on an image with 2 or more different colors put together, then you saved the image (to a jpg or gif image), then reopened the image back in paint to continue, but when you went to continue, the colors sort of mixed together in blob shapes, correct?

When you save an image in any format other than TIFF, the picture quality goes down to save storage space, when you open it back up, the reduced quality image displays and you have that bleeding or "melted" look

Microsoft Paint always does this. There is no way to prevent it.  That paint program is always s******g up pictures real bad. I'm sorry but I there is nothing that I know of that you can do about it.
