    Microsoft paint question
    Hello Everyone! This is my question... whenever I try to edit a picture in MSpaint and then save it... the image becomes VERY small. How can I save it and for it to be a normal size and not shrink.

    When you open it up I think it re-samples it to a lower quality. Most images you can't tell the difference unless you zoom in to look at the details. I think the standard is something like 72dpi. So if you can find the dpi of your image before editing, and then do x*100/72 and put that number into the "Stretch/Skew" option. You may get the same size when you're done.
