hi i used photoshop at work some 10 years ago but mostly forgotten since. just downloaded paint.net to design an e-book cover but finding it hard with no idiots' guide /paint.net for dummies or similar. so feeling quite nervous & out of my depth. still have my old guide for paintshop (photoshop cs in easy steps) and wonder will the same photoshop methods work fo paint.net ? cheers joe
