Hi this is Mike Callahan, Dr. File Finder and welcome back to part four of our special, 10-part series on IrfanView. Today, I’m going to show you the paint tool that comes with IrfanView. I’ve got an image loaded and we’ll click edit, show paint dialog.
Now here’s the paint dialogue that comes up, now bear in mind that the paint function of IrfanView is a totally complex like Paint Shop Pro but it certainly will let you get some things accomplished. You have the paint brush that you use free hand to draw with. You have an eraser that you can click, you can go in and you can pick out color. You can draw lines; you can draw arrows, so perhaps you want to draw an arrow point to the turtle. There’s the arrow, you can do circles, rectangles. So say we do have a rectangle right here down below our arrow.
Now we can also use the fill function, here is our current foreground color, so we’ll click there and fill the rectangle which is filled now with that color.
Another thing that you can do is straighten and rotate tool. So we’ll click on that. I’m moving here, click and just put a line and now you see our picture has rotated. Here are the pen and brush settings dialogue I’ll bring this in so you can see it. You can pick the kind of pen that you want, the end cap, the line joints. You can have your brush be saluted, the line hatched. You can pick the color, the transparency. You can also pick some functions for the background. When you settle down those things click OK. Down here, you can also change the size of the width of the pen and pixels by increasing or decreasing.
So this is the basic paint function of IrfanView. You can do some neat things with it, if you want to save these changes, remember to say file, save as and just give it a new name and that’s all there is to it.
