1. What is Quick Paint ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick Paint is a very small and simple paint program for Windows95/98 
and NT4.0.

Quick Paint offers powerful brush painting, which are selected as 
a part of an image and manipulated to do rotation, sizing, outline, 
shading, spray, ...etc. in 256 color mode and full color mode. 
Once you get to using it, you will find out how you can easily 
paint using brushes.

Also, it provides multiple image buffering, mask, fill, zoom, and 
grid, adding to the basic painting tools like simple line draw, 
bend line draw, oval/rectangle draw and text drawing. 

There are multiple drawing modes. Using one or a combination 
of different drawing modes, allows you to draw shiny or Mandelbrot 
style objects, or achieve similar effects using airbrushes.

Also, many keyboard accelerators are provided. We designed it 
so you can paint with as few steps as possible.

Quick Paint does not do much with image processing, photo re-touching 
or effects because we designed this product for purely painting.

It can read and save images as bmp format (RGB encode), so you can
export to other formats.

Also, Quick Paint is available at the following site:
