Microsoft Paint is a basic graphics program that comes installed in all versions of Windows. Paint is a fairly simple program, but one of its uses is creating photo collages to e-mail or post online. Collages allow people to view multiple photos at once, without having to scroll through them. Photo collages can also be printed and posted in the home or workplace.
