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

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

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
