Course Description

Want to create content or edit photography but don't want to spend the time or money on something as intimidating as Photoshop? Use Paint.Net instead!

In this course I will teach you a variety of skills and concepts using Paint dot NET that are common across many image editing software packages, even Photoshop. You don't have to be an artist or designer, anybody with a PC and an imagination can bring it to reality. As a programmer I'm pretty far from being a legit artist yet I've used this software to create content for various video games I created.

Maybe you are setting up a blog, or an online shop and need branding and content. Perhaps you want to edit family photos, make greeting cards, or spice up your social media posts. Or you just have a passion for epic memes and think you have the next viral sensation. Whatever the desire I'll show you how you can make it with just a little bit of time using free, fun, and easy software.

Instructor Details

Jared Gaul

I have been blessed with over 15 years of creative real time software development experience. The companies I've helped range from indie game studios shipping titles on mobile, consoles, and PC, all the way up to industry giants such as Lockheed Martin with their multi-million dollar simulators and even Disney's Emerging Technologies R&D team developing new magical experiences. I also had the honor of being a Full Sail University Course Director which is also where I graduated from with a degree in Game Design & Development.

Outside of my full time job I've had a never ending urge to learn and create and I have channeled that into developing my own cross platform game engine which was used to publish a variety of games/apps. I have also done a fair amount of design work creating logos and game assets. My most recent pursuits have been various inventions which I have modeled and 3D printed all from home creating full scale usable prototypes.

I believe hands on learning provides quicker comprehension and immediate experience. I've always had to spend the extra time to dig deeper and tear things apart to truly understand them and I hope to provide that in my courses in as streamlined an experience as I can. We'll avoid boring trivia and get straight to the practical/fun parts so you can get back to chasing your imagination.

Let's make awesome stuff together!

Really enjoyed this course. Even though I've been using Pain.Net for a few years now - I picked up some very useful new techniques. Many thanks For info, I recently discovered in v5.0.9 you can hold down the 'space' key to temporarily activate the hand tool, rather than using 'H' which deselects your current tool.

By George Karboulonis on 9/19/2023

This is a useful course for beginners. The instructor explains how to use every tool in the program. However, there are not enough practical tutorials on how to use these tools. This course would also benefit by covering some of the optional addons that Paint.NET supports but are not part of the program. The volume in this course is too low.

I looking to create marketing material for Constant Contact and pamphlets. So I am looking to understand more about the layers with multiple images.

I had quite some experience with paint.net before the course, self taught. Did learn a good amount of stuff that I can use in the future though. money worth spent

By Deanne Mott on 5/26/2021

This course was incredibly useful to me. I had been struggling with image editing using paint.net, and did not want to use Photoshop which has tons of classes. I learned so many useful methods and tricks with paint.net. This course is probably the first one I've ever taken (out of many!) that I plan to go back through again. There were so many things to learn that I didn't catch them all the first time through. Thank you for this course!

By John Roper on 2/18/2021

This was a fantastic course for learning the basics and a few more complex features of Paint.Net. I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn how to use this software as an alternative to paid alternatives out there.

By Allan Koven on 4/28/2019

Sometimes hard to see icons as they are small. In addition, explanations are said quickly and even with cc are a bit hard to follow. Voice is soft, would prefer sharper sound. Still confused with masks and how they work.

By Chris Lauterbach on 11/26/2018

Having used Paint.net for about 3 years much of the preliminary information I already know. But there were still things demonstraed that I was unaware of.

By Paolo Scandalitta on 11/20/2018

Si, mirato e ben fatto; forse leggermente troppo lento, preferirei fosse leggermente più veloce, ci penso poi io a fermare e andare indietro se non capisco

By Andre Kruetzfeldt on 10/27/2018

The instructor presented the subject on a way that I was able to follow the course on my own pace. I did like the examples chosen and the in depth explanations the instructor added to them. E.g. How to cope with and iPhone in Portrait and Landscape mode.
