I think a previewwindow that does not allow for zooming is pretty useless. I mean, what res are you on? 800x600?
There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

1024x768 if those are the exact numbers.
the preview window is actually quite useful, it probably just shaved about a third of my time because now i dont have to zoom in and out.

×10 zoom, so 8 isn't the maximum?
heh, nope. if you click a 1px line between the 8x and the bottom of the magnification box thing you can get the 10x zoom.

oh and background colour can be set by control clicking a colour in the pallete box but it doesn't do transparency in gifs, it lets you paint with a third colour by holding control and clicking on the canvas.

but i use promotion because things aren't so backwards :P
thanks Dogmeat!

I hate the preview window, found it annoying to keep moving out of the way etc.. ctrl + pg up / ctrl + pg dn is a better solution I think ;)

I'm perfectly happy with with Multimedia Fusion's picture editor and Paint Shop Pro 7  :P.

But as for MS Paint... it's not bad, just time consuming.... it's like and old beater truck: hit the dash a couple times to make it start, pump the throttle if it starts to quit at a stop light, ease the breaks before stopping or else they'll slip.... :lol:

MS Paint is no where near as bad as pixeling in Apple Works 6 though....

If you use MS Paint, the terrorists win. Don't let the terrorists win.
