Salu & david.atwell Thanks for your help. I guess I'm showing my age. I've found the layers - properties - mode, but when I click on the picture I see an overlay that wants to move. I don't see how to darken just a portion of the picture. At least I'm pointed in the right direction now. I'll look into it further tomorrow. I do a lot of photo editing for my news site. Do you think this is a good program for that? Thanks, Shamrock22

Thanks for the reply. I know you’ll think I’m as dump as a stump, but what is ‘ur mode‘?

I am attempting to use Paint.Net to replace Photoshop on my new Vista computer, but I’m finding in awkward. Most photo editing programs make is easy to crop, color correct, dodge and burn. I have found how I can crop, but color correction seems to be limited to ’hue’ control only. I also need dodge and burn control. Is there a way to accomplish these things or am I using the wrong program to editor photos? Thanks for your help.
