We will learn how to obtain images ethically, and edit them using image-editing software.
Find an image that you have created yourself, or that has a Creative Commons license that allows for commercial reuse and modification. The following site will help you get started: http://search.creativecommons.org/.
You can do something similar with Google Images if you apply a filter, a description of how to do this can be found here: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/29508?hl=en
in Google Images, select "Tools"
under "Usage Rights", select "Creative Commons License"
under "Size", select "Large" if you want only larger images.
keep in mind that your computer monitor probably 1920 x 1080 pixels (almost 2000 squares of colour across, over 1000 squares of colour in height).
if the image you download is a lot smaller, it won't look very good on your screen.
Pay attention to what file type you are downloading:
.jpeg/jpg, .gif, .png, and .bmp are easy to work with
.webp and .jfif can be edited using paint.net, but may need to be converted into a different file type for other programs. You may have accidently downloaded the thumbnail (tiny) version of the image you were after.
.html is a webpage, not an image file
You need to modify and edit the picture to create a more interesting image.
You can use the program Paint.net or another image editor (your choice).
If you are using Paint.net for your editing, you may want to read an introduction to the program at http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/index.htm (Links to an external site.)
Once you become comfortable with how to use Paint.net, you might want to look at the tutorial for using layers found here: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/WorkingWithLayers.html
