MS Paint has come in clutch for me so many times.

 

[FLAguy954]

All according to keikaku. - Microsoft

Lmao pretty much

 

[aravuus]

Er, so she's saying that features from Paint are in Paint 3D, and that Paint will be available as an optional free app. Wasn't that the plan from the beginnng ? I don't see any reversal, they just commented "wow you guys sure like Paint a lot !"

Yeah, I'm like 99% sure this has been the plan from the very beginning lol.

Props to whoever at the PR department decided to go at it like this.

Microsoft had a change of, umm, art

cancel the Baltimore Sun immediately.

I use it all the time to crop my print screens and also quickly resize cover art. It's convenient, fast and uses little resources.
...

This is exactly how i am using it.

If i understand correctly they are going to remove it and at the same time make it available through their crap store?
If true, i ask myself why?
I already have it and use it when i use it and i do not want to have any association with their store. MS sucks big sometimes.

MS Paint is very lightweight and it takes practically no storage space. It should be part of Windows perpetually. Like, there is zero reason to remove it. Even moving it to the windows store is a bad decision...

More importantly they're replacing it with Paint 3D as the default image editor, which is also lightweight and can do the cropping/resizing stuff. Original Paint becomes legacy stuff that is optional but still there for those who want it.

The hysteria over this is hilarious.

Both boot in ~1s and to my untrained eye, have the same basic tools and 3D has, well, some basic 3D stuff as well.

If Microsoft got rid of Paint, I was going to find my friend's Xbox One S and shit on it. Now I'll be doing that but for basically no reason.

Glad Paint is staying, though.

Forcing people to download it on the app store is killing it anyway. I aim to avoid using W10 for as long as possible.

One thing I miss in the new Paint is the live display of pixel coordinates of the cursor. The UI I'm sure I'll get used to (it's actually better for stylus or touch usage, but I'm still too used to the old one)

Microsoft: 1
Apple: 0

Microsoft lacks the courage.

 

[Fraeon]

I don't get the hysteria.

They were just replacing a simple image editor with another one.

 

[Hilbert]

I don't get the hysteria.

They were just replacing a simple image editor with another one.

They never should have called it Paint 3D, and never should have shown it was a different app. Paint has been updated in every windows release.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Can they bring Movie Maker back now? Every other video editor I've used is too obtuse.
