wondering how to break up a design/picture using paint.net? it would like its tore up, puzzle pieces, etc. but close enough you could tell what the design is. almost similar to a distressed look. thanks

Here's a couple of plugins as a starting point:  Tesserae or Mosaic

 

My recommendation is to make the grout color the same as your background or even transparent (if your target file format supports it)..

Duplicate your image layer.

 

Expand the canvas and delete the bottom layer.

 

Use the Lasso Select tool to select a chunk of the image.

 

Cut / paste into a new layer.

 

Repeat until you have the whole image in pieces on different layers.

 

You can now reposition the pieces using the Move Selected Pixels tool.
