[Color and Black and White - The Pleasantville Effect]

Thanks for putting together this tutorial. I had no idea how to do this in Paint, only in Picasa (and in Picasa you can only choose 1 item to stay colored)

Thanks again!

[The easyest way to make borders?]

Hi, thanks for explaining borders.

I used it to make a black somewhat thin border around a photo. I want to test out different ideas on how I want do the majority of my photos so I was wondering if you could tell me what the easiest way to add on a 2nd & 3rd border (like a thin white and then a 2nd thin black border)

Thanks!

Probably the easiest way to make a border would be to expand the canvas.

Make the border color that you want the secondary color.

Then, open up the Canvas Size dialog: Image>Canvas Size (or Ctrl-Shift-r).

'Maintain Aspect Ratio' should be checked, then, add to the width or height accordingly.

Remember, if you want a 20px border, increase the canvas size 40px.

Oh, and, make sure that it is set to expand from the center outwards (the little Paint.net logo should be in the center with arrows pointing outwards from all sides).
