They are perfect for an assignment I am doing. Anyway, Im not very good at this stuff but I have paint.net and I used the magic wand but it highlights the lions insides because they are the same color. Is there anyway around this as really want a white background but keep that grayish scan color on the inside?

Wouldnt mind if someone could tell me, always up for learning but paint.net is very basic. If it is easy and someone decides to help me out could you please lave the resolutions in the same?

Any help would be great!

Have you tried using varying tolerance levels?

Otherwise, remember you can hold alt-click to remove certain selections. Or, use the magic wand to get the initial outline and then go around and use the lasso tool with alt key to remove anything on the inside.
