Microsoft Paint has been marked for death:

The era of Microsoft Paint appears to be coming to an end with the upcoming release of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. The image-editing application is officially being classified by Microsoft as a "deprecated feature," as noted by The Guardian. That means that, come this fall, Paint will "not be in active development and might be removed in future releases."

I go hard in the paint.

Also at PCWorld and Smithsonian.

    ...That's not how GIMP works. "Save" saves the project in its native format, like Audacity and a lot of other programs. To save as a different format you use "export"...

    Fortunately, you don't need to jump through that hoop [github.com] unless you want to.
