Once you've checked that out you'd be interested in modifying them even more - this post will help you accomplish that:

By now, I hope you've got yourself Paint.net or just about any other Photo Editing software.

If you haven't, then I suggest you read this post about the top Photo Editing software's for beginners.

The very first time I came across Paint.net was through a friend on Wizzley, she suggested it and I'm really glad I went ahead and began the download - it's Awesome! (For beginners at least).

Some time next week, I'll be giving Photoshop a try - it seems much easier now that I'm familiar with Paint.net



So, where should we begin? 

Oh yes! I almost forgot, let's get the necessary Plugins first:

I've got just one of the many installed and there's a reason I have just one, that's because it's the only one you'd need - The Grim Color Reaper! (Click here to download it)

Using Grim Color Reaper for Paint.net

What does the Grim Color Reaper do? That's definitely the question you have in mind; so, as the first step in this tutorial, let's see when and how you could use it:

Blogging Tips - Use Pictures to boost your traffic

If you're a blogger, one of the first questions that you'd want an answer to is - 'How do I increase traffic to my blog?'. If you want the usual answers of back linking and social networking you've come to the wrong place. One thing I can tell you - I'm relatively new to blogging; but, the technique I use for HubPages does seem to work there and I'm sure it would work here as well.

Made for Pinterest Image

One of the best ways to give your traffic a boost is by creating unique pictures for each post. It's definitely going to be time consuming at the very beginning. But, once you get the hang of it, it would be  a smooth journey. However, considering the amount of long term traffic that you could get by doing this, I'd say it's definitely worth the extra effort.

Before going further into this discussion, I'd like to thank Wrylilt for bringing this up through the humongous Pinterest shares that she'd received and continues to receive. That surely made me think about it and I went back to check on some of my Hubs and viola - they had 30+ Pinterest shares! That's without me even making my own pics (They had some crazy illustrations). So, that's when I began creating special images which are popularly known as - 'Made for Pinterest Images'.

Have you always wanted to give Photo Editing a shot? Whether you're just modifying your personal pics or trying to create some amazing ones to share online through your website, you're going to need a superb photo editing software.

I'm relatively new to this field myself; however, a friend on mine on Wizzley suggested Paint.net and I gave it a try (After trying Photoshop and giving up a few months prior to this software, I never thought that I'd give it another shot). However, this particular software was much easier to use and now thanks to it I can at least move around in Photoshop comfortably.

So, if you ask me which is the best Photo Editing Software for beginners, I'd certainly say - Paint.net! It's absolutely free and if you want to download it - Go to their website. The site doesn't look professional at all, but the software sure is.

If you're not happy with this choice, there are plenty of other alternatives, so let's take a look at some of the Best Photo Editing Software for beginners (Which I've tried out):

• Paint.net
• Gimp
• Photoscape and 
• Photo Toolbox

If at all you've come across any other Photo Editing software for beginners, leave a comment as I'd love to add to this list. 

If at all you're looking for top notch and professional looking pictures, there's no alternative to Photoshop as the depth of each feature as well as the number of features cannot be listed out.

So, go along and download your software, because the next post the tutorials are going to begin. I'll be using Paint.net to explain how I create my Images - the one above took me just 3 minutes to complete: Pixabay + Paint.net = Amazing pics

Getting Rid of Tomato Blight

Tomato Blight isn't something rare. Usually when people grow tomatoes at home, most of the plants suffer from bight, and getting rid of it before the plant dies becomes your top priority.

Basically there are two kinds of Tomato Blight, namely:

• Early Blight and
• Late Blight

Sometimes, no matter how much trouble you take: making sure that the soil is fertile and free of blight causing fungi namely, Phytophthora infestans, the end result is brown spots on the tomato plant - Blight!!

When the fungus emerges, it's not going to begin on all the plants at once. Usually, it starts on one plant and then proceeds to the others. However, before you know it, the others are already infected (You may not see it). 

Most people think that by removing the infected plant they're safe. But, the problem has already spread and hence it's a futile attempt. Then what should you do to get rid of tomato blight?

It's widely accepted that prevention is better than cure right? So, let's take a look at what you could do in order to prevent tomato blight in the first place.
