How to put a graphic into your Background.
Firstly I would choose a graphic that you know will blend in with your background .......Personally .....I would rather start with my graphic and then match the colours to the graphic, I find this much easier. Of course if you are only going to write a message in your background then you will be fine ..
I store my graphics in a Photobucket account ......which is by far the best method of storing your grphics ....it is free and it saves your space on the web ..it also helps to stop the dreaded red X from appearing suddenly on your background. So if you have uploaded graphics to a photobucket account .....you will have a rough idea of how to do it ..because it is quite similar to uploading your colours from the Potobucket account you are using.......except for one thing ....you must first clic on your graphic and it will come up on its own as a larger print (not just a thumbnail) .......Right clic on the graphic, a page will come up ...go to copy clic and then return to your background and paste it to the centre of your top layer. vwalla your picture will appear .....Ok .......hope you can understand this ....
By the way ......please ensure your graphics are not too large or they will distort your background ......I will go into this in more detail later ....but if you know anything about PSP you will know that 350 pixels is the largest you can use in backgrounds.
Happy Creating ........huggers ......Marina.
