The best way to learn the basics of Paint.Net

[longfellow]

Hi all, first post

Actually I'm here because I recently upgraded my copy of eCover engineer and Paint.Net came with it. So I'm on a learning curve as I don't use one particular editing program on my computer. I may as well stay here. Paint.Net seems to have everything I need to knock out my little box covers and other designs.

Perhaps someone would give me a link to a very basic beginners course, showing how everything works for when I come here from ecover engineer.

Thanks a lot.

Welcome!

One very good way of learning how things work is to try the tutes. http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/forum/18-tutorials-publishing-only/

@longfellow: Welcome to the forum! You'll note that I've have renamed your post title to be more descriptive.

Around here we use thread titles to locate information contained in the forum. To that end we have a Forum Rule specifying that thread titles must be descriptive, so as to aid those searching for information.

It all works rather well once you get the hang of it. Enjoy your time here

You could also try You Tube. There are plenty of tuts there which were a great help to me when I started out.

Welcome aboard .

Thanks a lot.

I'll pay more attention to the rules in future.

I found a tute by Kathy Rouse which I found very helpful but I will search the forum and youtube when I get time.

Thanks again.
