Thank you so much.

[Help. Need tutorials on photo retouching]

I'm very, very new to paint.net.

I've been following a few tutorials.

I've downloaded effects and plug-ins.

What I was wondering, is if anyone could make any tutorials on photo retouching, or editing pictures in different ways.

I take a lot of pictures. I get bored with just the way regular digital photos look. I wanted to make them look unique, different. Like I've edited them in photoshop.

I've found a few tutorials, but not many.

Could anyone help me out?
