That is another wall I tried to climb. I spent hours in various areas in our house and manhandled all sorts of light blocking paraphernalia (Black curtains, black cardboard...), but I never succeeded in eliminating the reflections. I obviously need tutoring in several areas.

That was an extraordinary transformation. I am trying to sell this picture, and I think the frame and matting are very fine and add significantly to its value. I see I was much too untutored to attempt this project, but I am inspired to work with PDN and increase my skills. Thank you very, very much.

I have a lot to learn! I have set up the layers in the order you advised. But I don't know to "cut out" the frame, nor how to "place" it on the wood layer. I hope you will stick with me.

I didn't die; I'm just a slow worker. The result of my labors is shown in the attachments. I understand that the green shade with which I have managed cover the reflection on the left could be improved by a gaussian blur, but I need some instruction as to how to accomplish it.

This photo is framed with a glass facade, which reflects exterior light and obscures a portion of the green matting border. I would like to eliminate the reflections and substitute the green color of the matting. Can it be done? How?

I am using Win 7, but the advice was spot on for that OS, too. Many thanks.

Is it possible to designate Paint.Net as the default image viewer on my computer? E.g., when a .jpg image attached to an email is clicked, it will open in Paint.Net. If so, how does one set it up?
