Now, if you look to the left of your screen, you will see the 'Layers' box now has two layers. Let's just get into the doing of it, and then you'll see what I mean. Why do we want to do this? Because we can manipulate the top layer, and do cool stuff to it while preserving the original underneath. This makes an exact copy right on top of the other one we've already opened. Now, to paste it into a new layer, we hold down CTRL with Shift, and press 'V'. Next we need to copy it, so we hold CTRL and press 'C'. We do this by holding down CTRL and pressing 'A'. Once you have your photo open, we'll need to make an exact copy in a new layer. You do this by going to the manila folder under the word 'Edit' at the top of the screen. The first thing you'll want to do is open up the file where you've stored your picture. You can close out the 'Colors' box, as it won't be used. The only boxes we'll be using today are the 'To.' (skinny one at the top left of the screen) and the 'Layers' box. When you open Paint.NET (which you can download here) this is the screen you'll see. If you're not new, then let's all be patient together and start at the beginning. I always make the tutorials as newbie-friendly as possible. Now, if you're new to Paint.NET, don't worry. Sometimes there's something in a photo you want to stand out, but you don't want to go the whole color pop route. Why would you want to do that? Well, because it looks cool. Today I'll be sharing how to make a blurry background. Welcome to the second installment of the Paint.NET tutorials.
