MS Paint Issue

    Hello, sincerest apologies if this is in the wrong place but due to work stress I am in a huge rush and I dont know what to do!!!!!

    basically I have a map of Ireland I got off the internet and the Ms Paint will not let me use the colours in the colour box, It will only let me use the set colours that are already on the picture i.e. when i try to fill with red it uses a pale yellow colour that is on the map already. This has happened before and i don't know why!!!!

    does any one have any help or advice on this issue?

    Probably because the image you are using is a gif file with a specific colour pallet.
    Save it as a Jpeg and open the jpeg into paint.

    You should check out Gimp it is a free image manipulation program that is on the same level as photoshop.

    It is a lot more powerful than paint and will let you easily resize and scale images as well as doing anything that paint can do.

    +1, excellent suggestion.
    But the GIMP can be prickly enough starting out.
    Paint.net is another fine free alternative

    gimp is a right pain in the arse to start with, but the sooner you start the sooner you will be able to do the basics with free software :)
