Windows XP - Paint question

Expert: Richard Rost - 11/3/2009

Question
Hello,

[My Dell computer runs on Windows Vista but I think Paint is the same as it is in XP.]

I'm an amateur filmmaker and, for my software PowerDirector 8, I need to make a white rectangle in Paint. [The rectangle will be used for a fade-to-white effect in a film.]

The cinemascreen requires that the white rectangle has a length/width ratio of 1.42, and this is where I am running into problems.

Could you tell me the Paint steps for creating a white rectangle where I can manipulate the length and width?

Thank you,

John

Answer
Just go to Image > Attributes and you can specify the height and width in there.

Let me know if you have any other questions or comments.
