ms paint

My old computer had Photoshop before it kicked the bucket. My new one does not. So I have found myself doing much of my video editing on MS Paint. Has anyone else realized how absolutely pathetic that program is. No matter how hard I try, things come out grainy and imperfect. Not only that, but it takes 10 times as long to make something look 10 times worse. That is math that simply doesn't add up. Yet, I have found that I still enjoy using MS Paint, even with all its problems. I love redoing pictures in MS Paint. Below is a photo and MS Paint version of one of my students with his painting:

Perfect? No. Good for MS Paint? I think so. Why don't they just make MS Paint better though? Why should I have to spend over $1000 if I want to get a program that edits pictures better? The easy answer is that I shouldn't, and I won't. In fact, I never paid for the old one.

I guess I'm just frustrated that the outrageous pricing of Photoshop and poor graphics of MS Paint have forced me between an ethical rock and hard place. That to me is simply ridiculous.

Don't feel so bad. You work wonders with MS paint. A lot of people, me for one, couldn't replicate pictures in program that is inferior to Photoshop and wouldn't bother with it.
