  • How do I access multiple Office365 accounts at the same time?
    The easiest answer to this is to use Chrome Profiles (or edge profiles if you prefer). This will allow you to have completely separate windows for each organisation you need access to and allow you to be logged in to Teams, Email, OneDrive and any other online platforms that you need to without interfering with other profiles/organisations you have set up.

  • How do I do a green screen image in Paint.net?
    Removing the background from an image using Simple Green Screen: 1. Open an image file in Paint.net 2. Select ChromaKey or SimpleGreenScreen from the Effects/Photo dropdown menu. 3. Select the radio button for the desired background colour (green or blue). 4. Adjust the "tolerance" slider to achieve the best background removal. 5. Click on "OK" to close the plugin. 6. Save the image at this point if you want. You are now ready to make a composite image, as described below. Making a composite image: 1. Open the two images you want to combine: the chroma-key "foreground" image, and the new "background" image. 2. Remove the coloured background from the "foreground" image, as above. 3. Copy the "foreground" to the clipboard. You can select an area using one of the Select tools, or the entire image using Ctrl-A, then copy it to the clipboard using Edit/Copy or Ctrl-C. 4. In the "background" image, create a new layer, using Layers/Add New Layer, or the icon in the Layers window. With that layer active, paste the "foreground" using Edit/Paste or Ctrl-V. 5. The "foreground" can now be moved around to the desired location, and the relative sizes of the images adjusted. Generally, you want to reduce the size of one of the images, since increasing the size will result in a loss of image quality. You can do this by activating the desired layer, selecting all of it (Ctrl-A), and using the Move Selected Pixels tool to drag one of the little circles at the corner of the "marching ants" border around it. [If the "foreground" image is larger to begin with, you may need to reduce it before step 3, using Image/Resize/By Percentage.] 6. The composite image can be saved as-is in Paint.NET format (PDN), and/or can be saved in a standard format (PNG, TIFF, BMP, JPEG, etc.) after combining the layers.
