How to use Paint.net to crop and resize an image. Say you have a web page with a board of directors and someone sent you a head shot image of one of the people on the board. You will need to crop and resize the image to be the same size as the other board members.
Ideally you want the image to surround the person's head and go down to their collar below their neck, so that their eyes are just above the middle.
You use the selection tool to make a box around the person's head and then crop the image. You then resize the image so that either the width or the height is the exact size you want and the other dimension is larger. You then use the selection tool to crop the larger dimension to the correct size.
