Ultimate Paint is a full-featured 32-bit Windows graphics program for image creation, viewing and manipulation.

It supports JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PCX, AVI (reading only), TGA, WMF/EMF, ICO (reading only), IFF/LBM and WAP BMP image formats and Twain compatible scanners. You can easily print your image, setting its size, position and orientation.

Ultimate Paint is still a very lightweight program that you can install in a couple of minutes.

To name a few, I find the following features more convenient, comparing to a standard (MS provided) Paint:

• Customizable JPEG compression rates
• Multi-window interface
• Image transparency settings
