It pains me that the easy crop handles in mspaint seem to have gone away in win11. I don't have a win11 machine in front of me but I'm thinking there is now a tool to accomplish simple crop in the new and "improved" mspaint?
- wlesieutre 4y agoSeems the same as always to me, the top left corner is fixed but you can click and drag to change the canvas size from the bottom right. Alternate way is to select the area you want to keep and then click the crop button on the toolbar.
- Maxburn 4y agoThat's exactly how old paint worked. Ctrl-a for select all and place things so that the top & left is where you want it and then you can grab the handle to do the bottom & right. Always done it that way. I'll look for the crop button in paint 11, don't think I've noticed it yet. Sadly looks like win 10 does hit EOL before I retire so I've got one more generation to deal with before I slip away to linux and mac.
- hacknewslogin 4y agoI find the "snip and sketch" tool handy. If you push the "windows + shift + s" keys it lets you draw a box around what you want a "snip" of. Then you'll get a notification you can click on that will bring up basic editing tools, including image crop.
- Maxburn 4y agoI have started using snip and sketch but it occupies a different part of my work flow. Generally with paint I'm editing something existing and I don't think of S&S for that.
