Photoshop :: How Can I Make Fancy Web Graphic Backgrounds?
Feb 28, 2005
how people make web page backgrounds like this.
Notice the blue bluring outside the main page. I know that this is done as a table background, but it also changes size on diffirent pages
do table backgrounds stretch? or do they repeat? is the guy using a diffirent background image for each page on hes site? Also another thing is that hes using the same image in the middle table on the left? or is that just the same image but stretched with a diffirent filename?

I just started working with Photoshop, so I might be making some stupid rookie mistake...but I can't figure out what the hell could be wrong.
When I draw something on a dark background it just vanishes as soon as I fill the area with the paint bucket!
If I have a dark grey background, and draw something in black using the brush, when I try to fill the drawing, for instance green, with the paint bucket, the entire picture becomes green!
It was as if the drawing was never there.
At first I thought I had some wierd setting on my brush, but the wierd thing is that this only happens when I use dark colors.
Doing the exact same thing with yellow and red, works perfectly fine.

what is the best method to take 2-3 pictures from the internet and combine them together to make an image 1920x 1080 wide for desktop backgrounds? These are the steps I am following below and what I am having problems with.
1. I go to "canvas size" and make it 1920x 1080.
2. I then move in an image. I right click on it and click "Scale Image" so I can resize it to 1080 height and 960 widthso I have room to add one more picture. The problem is when I click on the image in the dialog box it has the original pixel dimensions of the background 1920x1080 even though obviously it is a lot less then that. Look at the attached picture. I already chose the desktop to be those dimensions but when I right click on the picture it still gives the desktop dimensions even though when you look at the ruler it is a lot smaller.

I have been removing photo backgrounds, saving them as .png and using them in a Power Point Project. Apparently when I reopened that PowerPoint project to add more photos, Libre Office's Impress opened the .ppt file rather than PowerPoint. When I had added all of the png photos and saved the ppt file again I saw that it was "Impress" not PowerPoint that was saving he file, but it still saved it as a ppt file.
I was not concerned until I went to open the ppt file with PowerPoint and discovered that PowerPoint could not open that ppt file. I decided that I had to start fresh and add all of the png photos in a new Pow1erPoint Project. Then I found that he transparent background ol all of the png files had been changed to black. I must have transparent backgrounds. So I took each photo back into Paint.Net and used the Magic Wand to remove the backgrounds, then saved them as png files. When I sent to use those edited .png files the backgrounds were still black. I have tried removing those black backgrounds several times but they continue to have black backgrounds. what I can try to get the transparent backgrounds back?

Using CS4 on XP.
I recently did a tutorial as I wanted to learn how to make vector backgrounds (for large printing purposes and to save on file size)
I was wondering if this particular tutorial I did can cause the banding when professionally printed.
This is the link: [URL]....
What it is is simply making a shape with a gradient. Adding a solid color rectangle behind that shape, Selecting the shape and rectangle and creating an opacity mask. This creates a nice blend effect and I hope it looks as smooth on screen as it does in print.
Dealing with this situation of "banding", what worked for me is adding a curve layer to the top of my layers and adjusting the sliders all the way to the right in order to see on screen the "banding" more clearly. Is there a way to do this in Illustrator? They also recommended designing in 16-bit, however I think these graphcis I will be creating are very large (for booth displays) and I imagine the file would be outrageous in size.

I have a graphic which I want to overlay onto a video. I want to erase small bits of the graphic but not with any colour - but make it transparent so you can still see what's behind it when I overlay it.

I'm trying to make a "gag" gift for a friend.. his face on a fake $25 canadian bill. I'm doing this by changing a $20 bill. If you look at the Queen's photo, it's not a photo at all, but her image made out of simple lines. Instead of just pasting his photo over the Queen, I'd like to create that same effect.

how fancy up your text? Specifically, I wanted to know if there was anyway to add some graphical easthetics to text such as shading or colored patterns. How could I get a 3D effect going, either making the text look like it was carved into stone or pop out bubble-style?

I want to make a background tile. I need it black, with various shades of golds and bronzes in swirls. I made the following but it looks dreadful. I don't know how to do it, and really need to do this asap.
I would love to accomplish what you see below in the red, very elegant and beautiful twirls and swirls. Any tips?

I'm thinking that I learned this once in a tutorial but is this possible? I know you can use the SAVE FOR WEB and make a link but can you also do something else to just make the text IN the graphic so that it's selectable or still becomes visible to search engines or searches? I made a graphic in Illustrator but really want the text to be selectable on the site still....

I'm trying my noob hand at making fancy scroll graphics. I am not sure if it's naturally a time consuming task or if there is an easier way (which I haven't discovered yet) in CorelDRAW X5.Here is the closest example I can find on what I am trying to do:
You will note that the lines in the Scroll varies width and it is a symmetrical graphic.What I want to know, is there an easy way to recreate something like this by scratch (not doing PowerTrace)?Or is it a time consuming project using the shape tool and adjusting nodes?

I've look at many sites in the last 24 hours to find a tutorial that will show me how to select and delete a dying petal of a flower, copy a another one form the same flower and rotate it and replace the deleted one.
If I knew what the function was called I would have a better chance, but I am the proverbial newbie with any photo manipulation software.

i have a historic residence i am working on and was wanting to sharpen my modelling skills a bit, but i have a fancy concrete baluster and i do not know how to model it. i would imagine create a profile as a pline and then array it around a center point, but does this make it a 3d model of just 2d items rotated around a 3d point.

I create a graphic in Corel Draw X4 and export it as a .png file. It is a button with rounded corners. It will be going on a black background when put into an iphone app. So as to not have the little white corners show up from the rectangular export window, I made the button on top of a black rectangle, slightly larger than the button. I then selected the black to be transparant during the dialogs of exporting to png. When viewed in an image viewer the black is indeed transparent and does not show up. All looks fine.
To test what it will look like when put on top of a black background, I also make a black square and export it as a .png. I then open the black background in Corel Photopaint and then import the graphic into the background image. A siloutte of it shows up with the marque borders but the graphic itself (the colors and contents of the graphic don't). When combined with the black background it just disappears. Why doesn't it just lay on top of the other graphic?

I'm working on a design that seems a bit bland so I thought about adding some texture to the background, though I dont want it to interfere with the foreground elements like text, and images.
1. I can reduce the transparency, what else might I do? Fade it out?
2. Just curious to hear some examples of when you might use a texture for a background of an image? Do you only do it for very specific reasons?.
