![]() ![]() If you use a digitizer pen with Paint, bind the side button of the pen to the shift key. The x220t's digitizer is not the best(inaccurate around the edges) but it's good enough to have some fun with. This option is great because you can actually see what you are drawing on. ![]() I don't personally have one but they seem like they would work well.Īnother option that I use is a laptop with a built in Wacom digitizer like the Thinkpad x220t. Using the mouse or track pad is a perfectly fine way to use Paint, but there are other interesting input methods as well. To make it higher res I used a bitmap trace to convert it into a vector, then exported it as a much higher res raster image. I used Inkscape to do this (Inkscape is another great free and open source piece of software). I then opened the image in Paint and messed around with it. This is important because Paint's "transparent select" tool interprets the color white to be transparent, so I wanted just white and black in the image file. I then adjusted the image's contrast and brightness sliders in GIMP so that the image is mono chrome instead of Grayscale. Next I used GIMP(a free and open source image editor that is great!) to convert it from color to Grayscale (Image>mode>Grayscale). Then I took a low res image of it using who knows what(I'm looking at you Sony Mavica FD92). If you want to get some more detail in an image that Paint can't quite accomplish you can always draw on paper and then take a photo of it and incorporate it into a glitchy Paint piece. ![]()
