Using Paint.net for Digital Images

If you are really keen on digital photography you'll want to get to grips with editing images to remove blemishes, unwanted detail or combining images.  This new course covers the use of the free Paint.net digitial editing software.  The course is kept as practical as possible, with a broad content of resizing and cropping, image adjustment, use of layers, type and combining images.

Who is this for?
This is designed for those who are happy using Google's Picasa photo software but want to move to the next level of editing and manipulation.  

What does it cover?
This starts from understanding the concept of the image and the canvas, moving to the Paint.net tools, methods of pixel selection,  cloning to remove blemishes, using and managing layers to combine images and aid creativity, culminating in a choice of practical projects to practice your skills with.

How long is it?
1 day or can be split into several sessions if required

Where is it run?
On your premises or via one of the training centres I use
