Perfecting Effects on Paint.net - Similar on Photoshop as well

I'd be covering all the important effects that you're going to need to perfect Paint.net in this post. It's just going to be a series of different pictures showing you what each effect does. So, rather than wasting time let's begin:

Re-sizing images:

The first thing I did was opened a new tab and went to Pixabay.com and searched for a picture of a flame - Here's the link to the Picture.

However, I've not added the original picture below, instead I've re-sized it to fit the blog well and I've chosen to make them all squares which are 400X400.

Here's what you do:

Open Paint.net and go to File>Open (Pick out the file you wish to open).

OR

Right click on a image and say Open with > Paint.net

Now that you've got the image open, the next thing you would need to do is re-size the image.

Go to: Image > Resize

This is what you'd see:

I've made this small else it's going into the sidebar

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'.
