Scrough tells me he never opens or saves any images, he just imports between Paint.NET by cut and paste. Having opened and image I find it best to maximise the window. Find the operation tools: they will brighten up when you mouse-over in two areas towards the bottom of the screen, or right-click and select Transform Image. The important tools for perspective correction are in the upper position, I have no idea what the lower ones do. Start by switching off Auto Crop, then you will need the Perspective tool, Rotate CW and CCW, Reset or Apply, then Save your work. Note that saving does not overwrite the original but creates a new file each time which gives assurance against losing all your work. Perspective correction is by drag and drop at the top, bottom or sides of the screen. Get at least one side true to the grid then rotate and true another side. The effect is very powerful: a basket-case image of a sleeve viewed from one corner became very acceptable after a few minutes' work Edited by Juke Jules on 17th Oct 2021, 12:59 AM
