Hello, and welcome to DD123's Painted Homeroom. This'll basically be a thread for students to post and be given help and guidance as they learn to use the simplest image editting program in existance, MS Paint. So basically this thread'll be used for anything relating to the classes and whatever else, as long as it isn't spam.
Quick summary of what's mainly being taught here: Simple editting. Using the program to do things more Photoshop-ish. Most of these lessons are done in the form of signatures due to the requests of students. If you wish to learn spriting or something of that sort, you are probably better off with a different teacher. I believe Rantick is teaching Sprites in Paint. So here it's mostly focusing on image editting and forming things to look nice. Or look ugly, if that is what you want to do with it.
Also, I'll apoligize in advance. Many explainations and things I say will end up looking very very long, but that's because I like to give reasons and such. Just know that if I send you a ten page tutorial, it usually won't take nearly as long to do the skill as it will to read through all that I've typed. So, sorry for any future blabbering on about nothing.

Note: If you wish to join into the class, please just go ahead and post here about it.
Or, if you wish to drop out of this class, please don't play messenger. "Freddy told me that Bob told him to tell me to tell you that George is leaving this class" gets annoying really fast. If you leave then let me know.
So welcome to all of you, and please lemme know if I leave you off the student list or mispell your name on it.
As of now, I have absolutely no idea what any new students are able to do already. Therefore, all new students, tell me these few things:
1. Have you ever worked with Paint to do anything before?
2. Have you found the icon to open up Paint on your computer?
3. How old is your computer? Or basically, which version of Paint do you have? Is it Windows 98, Windows XP, Vista, or something else? (Yes, Paint has a few differences in it depending on how old it is)
4. If you've worked with Paint before, what're some of the things you've done with it?
5. Do you have a way to upload images to the internet? (Photobucket or Imageshack and such)
6. What are some of the major things you wish to learn about? Is there anything you really want to focus on, or skills you have trouble with? Or are you new to it all?
7. How much have you used the program? Have you figured out what different tools do, or are we starting from scratch?
8. Do you have a version of Microsoft Word on the computer?
9. Look for a Print Screen button on your keyboard. Does your computer have one? It might be written as PrtSc or so, but you should be able to hit that button and click paste to get a picture of what the window looks like. Can you find and make that button work? (Yes, it's an important key)
So all new students fill that out for me so that I can figure out where everyone is at. Also, yes, new students are always being accepted. If you wanna join, just go ahead and post! ^^ None of us have closed off our classrooms to new students.
~ New assignments will be posted throughout the thread. Please try to keep up. ~
