i think that it's pretty obvious that MS Paint has the worst picture quality there is. for example, my signature, and the skin that i made for my xanga [click here to take a look]. is there any way to get good picture quality with MS Paint, or am i pretty much screwed?

ps. i know many people say get paint shop pro and anything like it, but the source of this problemo is that i'm not sure if i want to fork up that much $$$ for it, so i'm trying to make the most of what i got, get what i'm saying?

I don't think there is really anything you can do to improve the quality of the pictures for paint.

MS. paint is not bad quality. you just saved it the wrong type of image file thing. I used to use ms. paint and it rocked my socks. k.
just save it as a PNG, or something. changing it to a GIF will make it look dotty, changing to a JPEG will make it look like bad image quality. when you press 'save as' and not even touch the image file thing (keep it as BMP and dont touch it) it should save it as a BMP and look just fine.

always try .gif first; usually simpler colors will save nicely as .gif
if not, .png will do... but those layouts really annoy me when the images are big
