=== Windows XP and Vista === In [[Windows XP]] and later, Paint uses [[GDI+]] and therefore can natively save images as BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF and PNG without requiring additional graphics filters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917498 |title=Error message when you use Paint to open a 48-bit TIFF image file on a Windows XP-based computer |work=Support |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |date=May 23, 2006 |access-date=November 20, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071023060234/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917498 |archive-date=October 23, 2007 }}</ref> Support for saving and loading custom color palettes was dropped. In [[Windows Vista]], the toolbar icons were updated and the default color palette was changed. Paint in Windows Vista can undo a change up to 10 times, compared to 3 in previous versions; it also includes a slider for image magnification and a crop function. This version saves in [[JPEG]] format by default.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-files/i-have-windows-vista-paint-by-default-used-to-save/1f47a397-757c-4df4-9f4a-40c8a466d2dc | title=I have windows Vista.
