Paint in public school?

[Mr. Mo]

I am a high school teacher in a suburban school in New England (Rhode Island), The administration wants to set up a graphic arts & digital photogrpahy program for next year. I presently have 24 Dells w/ Windows XP & Microsoft office suite (Publisher) for the desktop publishing part , money is very tight and the admin will not even consider Adobe CS2, no less CS3. The IT person for the district suggested I look at Paint as a possible program to use for the digital photo class. I have downloaded the program to my personal computer and have registered. I am having marginal success in understanding the program and what it can do. What I am looking for is, first and most important, tutorials to get me started and possibly use in my classes (as I have very little experience with Photoshop or other digital editing programs). Second, Can I import the images generated in paint to use in Publisher and vice versa?

Thanks -Ken- kjmvas@gmail.com

wow!

i wish my school would use paint.net instead of photoshop cs3

Try looking here: viewforum.php?f=15 for tutorials.

You will find some very nice written and easy to follow tutorials there!

Good Luck

You may wish to try the help file, an interactive introduction to layers or an interactive tutorial giving a brief explanation of the different commands available.

Sounds to me that you should be the student, not the teacher.
