Removing objects or background

[witness]

I'll begin by saying I am a novice.  I like paint.net and use it regularly, however I'm certain I know less than 10% of what it can do.

 

I saw an ad for software called inPixio.  Their big claim is you can use it to remove objects or the background from a photo.

 

Does paint.net have this option? 

Is this a complex process?

 

Thank you for your help!

Use the top one to remove objects from an image (demo images in the thread).

 

Use the bottom one to adjust height and width without losing significant content.
