Paint (mspaint.exe) is a very rudimentary image manipulation program.  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Paint

For photo editing, you need a more sophisticated program.

I haven't used any of the programs listed here, but you might be interested in trying one or more of them: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/best-free-photo-editing-software/2/
