• Find image on sxc.hu and Right-click and Copy  (it may be too large & then you will need to save it first, then open it using Paint.NET)
• Open up Paint.NET
• Ctrl – N (New) or File > New to create a new document
• Press Ctrl – V (Paste) or Edit > Paste – to paste your saved image
• Use all of these tools (but one at time) to select an area on your image EXCEPT FOR SINGLE ROW AND SINGLE COLUMN
  
• After the area is selected change the appearance by going to Effects and/or Adjustments
• Selecting multiple areas:
  • You can hold down the SHIFT key in order to select multiple areas
