Windows XP - Paint question


Expert: Lenny - 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
Hello John,

-Open Paint,
-Click on New and zoom out the whiteboard all over the screen by holding down your mouse and gently filling it up to the edges of the paintboard screen
-On the edit board, click on the "Rectangle" option.
-Now hold down your mouse over the white paint board screen and create a rectangle to an utmost larger size
-Release the mouse
-Click on "Image"
-Click on "Attributes"
-And enter the custom size of of your rectangle
-Click OK
-You are done

Enjoy.

Kind Regards,
Lenny.
