Cheers Crimson this is what I want to do and this tutorial covers it great. I'm trying to work my way through it. Thankyou for both this and the tips for the Pleasantville effect.

This is what I want to do Thankyou, but how do I "fill it in" please? Can someone tell me.

I've recently used a trial of a software called recolored which I found incredibly easy to use. It lets you take a black and white photo and add colour to all of it or parts of it very simply and quickly. You can see what it does here http://www.recolored.com/ I wondered if theres any way I can do the same thing in Paint.net and if so how. I'm very new to Paint.net and still discovering what I can and can't do but I would very much like to be able to do this easily and quickly.

Oh you are a STAR. Thankyou so much I followed your instructions and Bingo. I'm sure I'll have lots more questions to come but now I can angle pictures (and deselect images too) Heres what I made, following these instructions, I can't take any credit for the fancy page - that was a free scrapbook quickpage (or ready made page) by Pam Lefors designs to which I just added the photos. I know the photos I used are of really poor quality - they are over 30 years old and were very poor when taken they are all faded now but at least this is a way to preserve them and make them prettier to look at.

I've been using Scrapbook Flair free software to make simple collages and scrapbook pages but saw Paint.net recommended so thought I'd try it. It seems great but I can't work out how to put an image at an angle on top of a background? Like this page I made in the other software using a quickpage from pascaleA. In that I just drag the corner of the photo until its at the angle I want but I can't seem to do that in Paint. I've tried the rotate tool but it seems to distort the image and then part of the edges are missing. If anyone can help please explain it VERY simply as I'm not very pc literate yet.
