A new ribbon—the strip across the top of the window that shows what Paint can do—makes this tried-and-true program easier to use, with choices displayed out in the open rather than in menus.
And Paint's new realistic digital “brushes” will bring your pictures to life in shades of watercolor, crayon, and calligraphy.
Paint is now touch-ready too, so if you've got a touchscreen PC, you'll soon be finger painting right on the screen. You can even use two fingers to trace two separate strokes.
