Need help/advice with MS Paint PLEASE

[CyanaWhite]

Hi,

I've been doing a lot of work in MS Paint (vista version) lately and everytime I re-open a pic after having closed it it comes out blurred. For example if I put a red square next to a blue square, then save and close it, when I reopen it the part where they meet has jumbled the colors. It is getting annoying to keep having to re-touch my work all the time. Please tell me what I can do to fix this! Thanks

Welcome to the forum!

Is it set to do that? I'm not a expert with Paint, but I think there is a feature in it to do that.

If you want an updated version of Paint, you should try Paint.NET. It is an excellent free program with lots of updated features.

Good luck either way.

Thanks for the welcome .

The only option I think could do it is the Draw Opaque option but I've messed around with it and can't figure out what it does. Either way, it didn't fix my problem.

I did look at paint.net before coming to this site. I might have to consider that as an options.

Thanks for the suggestion!

No problem.

Did you look through the help contents of Paint?

Make sure the picture is being saved as a Bitmap (.bmp).
If that doesn't solve the problem, try a .png.
