Beginning Spaced Out

REMEMBER: Keep "merging layer" down from time to time.  You should also save to your desktop or flash drive every once in awhile to avoid losing your work.

To begin construction of your photo design, create a new blank page in Paint.NET that is 24" wide by 18" tall at 200 dpi resolution. You will paste your image pieces onto this blank canvas to construct your image.

Be warned! You will have to reduce the size of each photograph -- they will be too large to fit all of them onto the blank page. To do this...Go to Image Menu.  Click on Resize.  Then select "By Percentage" and change the percentage down to 10 or 15%.  You can then copy and paste your smaller image into your 24" by 18" canvas.
