Open the directory/folder with your pics

If you can not see your pics right/click/show thumbnails (or for older Puppys go into options)

Click the + sign in the Rox folder to make thumbnails bigger

Drag the required thumbnail over the mtpaint icon and let go

Pic now in Mtpaint

Select the menu option-

Image > preferences > interface > mousewheel=scroll

Now you can make the image bigger or smaller with the scroll wheel

Select a menu option from

effects > change colours

Best effects are increase saturation and a bit of gamma (don't go mad)

Too much gamma might need a bit of contrast and try some hue change for otherworldly sunsets

Apply before clicking OK and reset if the effects have gone too far when applied

That should give you pics a little more Puppification

To print in mtPaint you will need to install gtklp, and configure the print action.

Following these instructions-

Install gtklp

1. Download gtklp-1.2.5.pet package

2. Click on the 'gtklp-1.2.5.pet' package and it will install automatically

Configure Print Action

1. Go to the mtPaint menu File > Actions > Configure

2. Select 'Print image' from the top pane in the 'Configure File Actions' window

3. In the 'Command' text box replace kprinter %f with gtklp %f and click 'OK'

You should now be able to print by selecting File > Actions > Print image
