For Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

E-Paint is a Windows paint application — unlike numerous Windows paint "programs." It's easy to use, quick to learn and less difficult to master than many brands of soap. If you're able to work the web browser that's displaying this document, you have all the necessary skills to successfully operate e-Paint.

The power of e-Paint is that it embodies a rich selection of popular drawing and image-editing tools without attempting to squeeze every imaginable painting function in there somewhere, just so it can say it has them. It provides robust painting functionality, but it won't burden you with innumerable features to click through to perform simple tasks. It has a very short learning curve.

It's also reasonably priced.

E-Paint's features include a variety of selection tools; antialiased drawing and text; a gallery of image processing filters ranging from tastefully subtle to breathtakingly wild; multiple document handling, soft brushes, local undo, variable magnification and an intuitive user interface — you might not even need its extensive, accessible documentation and tutorials.

You'll find e-Paint to be the perfect tool for fine-tuning your digital photographs; drawing cells for web page animations; creating original artwork; building graphics for business presentations or, if you're employed by one of the supermarket tabloids, gluing the head of the president of the United States onto the body of an extraterrestrial. It has few limits, and in the latter example, very little shame.

This software is available for electronic delivery and on CD-ROM.

• Create and edit graphics stored as BMP, PCX, TGA, JPG, GIF and PNG files.
• Draw with antialiasing to create smooth, professional lines, shapes and text.
• Soften, sharpen, color-adjust and manipulate your graphics with a rich library of image processing filters.
• Repair minor imperfections in your digital photographs.
• Make radical alternations to your pictures. One nose is never enough.
• Work quickly — the intuitive user interface of e-Paint will keep your mouse from melting down.
• Get up to speed with e-Paint's extensive documentation and tutorials.

IMPORTANT: e-Paint requires access to the Internet to validate itself after installation. Please see the discussion of registration key security for a detailed discussion of this functionality.

Downloading and installation of this software: You can ensure yourself of a problem-free installation by reviewing our downloading and installation instructions. The downloadable installer can be used to install either an evaluation copy or a fully-functional registered copy of this application.

Important: You might see a warning during download or installation of these installers concerning possible "malicious code." These messages are generated by Windows if you attempt to download and install most non-Microsoft software. They can be safely ignored.

Norton Antivirus users: Norton security products may generate spurious warnings about downloaded software installers, including some of ours. They appear as WS.Reputation alerts. Norton may delete incoming downloads when it generates this warning. WS.Reputation is not a virus — it's apparently an internal reputation ranking maintained by Symantec, which gets confused from time to time. Please see our support blog for more about it. In the event that you encounter this warning, we recommend that you disable Norton Antivirus to complete your download. It does not indicate the presence of a virus or malware in our installer.

If you're upgrading an earlier installation of this software, please see our discussion of version 4 upgrades before you begin. Doing so will save you no end of head-banging and typing.

e-Paint 2: e-Paint 2 has been superceded by the current version 4 release. Its installers have been removed from distribution. We recommend that you upgrade to e-Paint 4 while the half-price upgrade is available. Due to its increasing inability to get along with all the current releases of Windows, we are no longer able to provide replacement legacy installers for e-Paint 2 to registered users. Not to put too fine a point on it, Windows has devised more ways to crash it than proponents of global warming have math errors.
