i’d say i’m no fanboy since i always knew the shortcomings of the platform and won’t defend them, but i was quite content starting with xp, even vista and 7 after that.īut in the recent time my satisfaction started to decline, as in the year 2013 i think a lot of little tidbits should have long been improved.
i mean i’m a “pc-guy”, as in using windows and can’t really get used to linux/osx. Getting off topic, i have to say these little things slowly drive me nuts with windows. Snipping tool, though not perfect, was a godsend for those who suffered under paint for what felt like decades. i mean who even uses paint? i mean for sth else than to save a “quick” screenshot? On a more serious note, i find it funny to have to rely on such workarounds, just because this pos program offers zero customization. You will notice a new icon in the top left corner of the screen that you can click on at any time to save the current image as a jpg image. Note that you can do so for any other format listed here as well.
While you can click on File > Save As > Jpeg every time you save a newly created file, it is not really the fastest of options.
Whenever you create a new file, you always see the png option first when you select the save option or use the Ctrl-S keyboard shortcut. The problem here is that Microsoft Paint does not provide you with options to change the default file format for newly created images. While it certainly has its strengths, I prefer to save the majority of screenshots as jpg images because the size of the resulting image file is usually lower than the png version. It has been quite bothersome for some time now that Paint uses the png image format as the default save format for newly created images. I'm using the Paint app on my Windows 8 system to save screenshots as I did not bother yet to install a different application - both screenshot tool and image editor - on the operating system.
