Anyone want to declare themselves an expert at Microsoft Paint and help solve an as-yet undocumented problem?
Well this is it:
1) I took a photo.
2) I uploaded the photo onto my PC (windows 7)
3) I opened Microsoft Paint and imported the picture
4) I drew a black outline of the image - as if tracing the outline like we used to do with tracing paper at school
5) I then coloured every pixel (other than my black lines) white
6) I then 'filled with color' (the bucket icon) on the white
The fail/problem is this:
a) All the areas that I 'whited' using a 'filled' rectangle filled OK
b) All the areas that I 'whited' using a 'full-thickness' pencil filled OK
BUT
c) All the areas that I 'whited' using a 'minimum-thickness' pencil failed to fill and would only fill pixel-by-pixel.
I double checked that each of the three 'whiting' tools used the same color white. I researched google to find out if the pencil function uses dithering, which, as far as I can tell, it does not.
Does anyone know paint well enough to understand what I have written, and, if so, do they know a way to solve this without downloading paint.net and stating all over again, or at least point me to a website full of Microsoft Paint experts (I can't believe my google for such a site brought me zero results!)
Thanks for all and any replies!
