Hi. I would like to ask 2 things in this topic: 1. How do i make a picture bigger in paint, but not zoom in with the magnifying glass(i mean permanently bigger)? 2. How do you put 2 pictures together in paint?

 

I am asking because i want to make a new icon where there is a starfleet uniform with Kurt Cobain's(nirvana) head.

Paint? Icky.

 

You can resize an image in paint by grabbing the blocks on the edges and stretching it. You can put another image on it by copy and pasting it onto the first image. Paints not really good for stuff like that though, if you have access to Photoshop its better geared towards that. :P

Is photo shop free? The blocks on the end only increase the amount of space on the pad. if you pull them out there is nothing but white space.

Photoshop is decidedly not free, you might try GIMP which is open-source and thus free. (I'll include a link)

 

So I actually played with paint, you need to enlarge the canvas, then select the image with the dotted-box tool (its a cut tool me thinks) and then re-size from there.

 

GIMP Download for Windows

Make sure you also downloaded and installed the GTK libraries for The Gimp. Otherwise it won't work.

 

You're a brave man for using paint. Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc... all have free trials if you need something quick.
