We will be creating a simple version of a graphics editing software that is quite similar to the original Paint program with the basic features mentioned previously. There are an abundance of graphics editing software each with slightly different features and interfaces, however, the majority contain the same basic features such as drawing, erasing, and painting using different colors. Raster graphics editing software begun with the basic features of sketching and painting and cropping images and has evolved to contain features such as automatic color balancing and image filters. With continuous updates adding new features and functionality every year, users have the ability to create more and more art and edit their photos in creative and revolutionary ways. The original Microsoft Paint was released in 1985 and Adobe Photoshop followed soon after in 1988. These type of programs are known as raster graphics editing software and have been around for over twenty years. You may have heard of popular graphics editing software such as Photoshop and Microsoft Paint which have millions of users. Today, paint and graphic editing programs allow us to utilize our creativity to create unique artwork by using intangible sketches and brushes on a digital screen. With modern technology, art is no longer limited to the stroke of a paintbrush. Growing up, I would always sketch out things I saw that I found interesting. Art is a subject that interested me from a young age.
