Thanks, Boltbait. I hate to ask a dumb question, but do I need to outline or otherwise indicate the area that I wish to lighten?

I have a portrait with a background I'd like to lighten a bit. As you can see in the snippet, I'd like to create a bit more contrast between my dark suit jacket and the dark background. In paint.net, what is the best way to do that? Thanks.

Thanks, dipstick and MJW. The horizon is now level!

I hate to ask a question that many here might deem laughably simple, but how do I rotate an image about 2-3 degrees clockwise? I took a photo of a sunset over the ocean, and I want to level the horizon. I see how to rotate an image 90 degrees in different directions, but I'm looking for incremental rotation of only a few degrees. Thanks.

OK, Eli. Thanks.

How do I open and view multiple images at the same time? I used to tile multiple images in the old Windows Photoex application. That was like arranging prints on a table to do an initial edit. Is there a way to do this in paint.net?

How do I tile several images, or view, say, 4 images at a time?

Thanks, Midora. That works perfectly!

Thanks, all, for the responses. I understand about sizing and dpi. Suppose I have a 300 dpi JPEG that measures 6.97 inches x 4.15 inches. To make a 4x6, I'd leave the 4.15 dimension as is, but I'd want to crop the 6.97-inch side more precisely, evenly on both sides, to 6.4 inches. What's the best way to do that in Paint? Thanks.

I want to resize some JPEGs so that I can print them at 4x6, 5x7, or 8x10. I can ensure that the images are 300 dpi for best quality. Is there a template I can use that shows me a 4x6, 5x7, or 8x10 window, in which I can place the photos and crop them accordingly? Alternatively, what is the best (easiest) way to crop JPEGs to fit standard print sizes? Thanks.
