Learn something everyday…

Big Sister before paint.net

I don’t know about you, but I certainly get excited when I learn something new on the computer, and I didn’t have to depend on the kids to teach me!

To celebrate, I want to pay it forward…something you might be able to use and mostly, something you can impress your kids with!  Yes…a celebration in and of itself!

The program I want to share with you is called paint.net.  You can download it for free, and then pick up simple tutorials on YouTube (welcome to this century!) 

This program is a simplified photoshop program with wonderful benefits.  It is free.  It allows you to try your hand at photoshop-like software and see some great results.  It gives you the ability to create some pretty wonderful artistic images by removing backgrounds and then layering them in your own creation.

As you advance, you will see that you can perform all sorts of neat tricks with your pictures!

Have fun…let me know how it turns out!

Don’t forget…as you are getting ready for spring, there is still time to take advantage of FREE SHIPPING at www.kateandbudscloset.com
