my process:\n\nfind an image on google that you like, i dont know what you are looking for. and then right click it and save the picture. then go to photobucket.com and upload the image there then go to http://www.mygen.co.uk/ and when it asks for a picture url, go to photobucket and copy the URL box right under the picture. and create a layout. my suggestion is that you find an image that would look good tiled OR find an image that would look good centered/ full screened. customized all you want!

Create your own code in the editing fields. Find the image you want as your background and upload it to the Image Shack server. Hopefully your image will be large enough for the page not to look distorted. Generally the size of the image should be 1024x768 or 1280x1024 pixels. Below is the code that should be used if you do not want your image tiled. Also, the Image Shack link, and my myspace link as well. Feel free to message me on myspace if you need anymore help.\n\nbody\n{\n    background-position: 0;\n    background-image: url(replace filename and path here);\n    background-attachment: fixed;\n}

Try some of these, they are all free.\nYou may have to look up some tutorials to do exactly what you want ... the programs don't do all the work, you have to know how to use the tools in them to accomplish what you desire to.\n\nhttp://wang.zhenzhou.googlepages.com/\nhttp://www.photobie.com/\nhttp://www.plasticbugs.com/index.php?p=241\nhttp://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/PhotoPlus/\nhttp://www.photofiltre.com\nhttp://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/PaintNET/1096481993/1\nhttp://park18.wakwak.com/~pixia/\nhttp://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Project_Dogwaffle/dogwaffle.html

<style type="text/css">\nbody {\n  background-image:url('PICTURE URL HERE');\n  background-position:bottom right;\n  background-repeat:no-repeat;\n  background-attachment:fixed;)\n</style>\n\nPlace this code in your About Me section.\nFind your background and upload it using imageshack.us or photobucket.com but I suggest you to use imageshack.us. Paste the link onto the PICTURE URL HERE.\nChange your settings if you want to. (You can change the picture position in bottom left, bottom right, bottom center, center left, center right, center center and etc. Also, for background-repeat, you can either put no-repeat or repeat to have the picture in tiles. And finally for background-attachment, just leave it alone.)

If there are two solid colors, another quick way is to use the "magic eraser" tool. Just left-click on the white area and that should take, most, if not all, of that white background out..........if not.......just continue to left-click in the remaining white areas until all of the white background is gone. This tool works best when there are two distinctly solid colors. :)\n\nIf this is a circle you created, first flatten the image via layer. Go to 'layer', then choose 'flatten', now use the "magic eraser" tool to eliminate the background. :)

Lesson 2.4: Changing the Background\n\nTwo Ways to Change\n\nThere are two ways you can change the background on your page. You can either change the color or put a picture in the background, which are analogous to painting the background of your webpage or wallpapering it. \n\nFirst Open Up Page Properties\n\nYou should first open up Page Properties. To access the Page Properties dialog box, go to Modify > Page Properties.\n\n\n\nThe resulting dialog box is where you can change either the background color or the background image of your page.\n\n\n\nPainting Your Background\n\nTo change the color of your background, simply click and hold on the little black arrow on the box labeled "Background" and then choose the color that you want for your background. Try to keep to light colors for dark fonts and dark colors for light fonts to maximize readability. \n\nHere are some samples of pages with colored backgrounds:\nNote: These sample pages will open up in a window.\n\n• Example of a page with a dark and light font on a light background\n• Example of a page with a light and dark font on a dark background\n• Example of a bad page with horrible color choice and contrast\n• Example of a page with colored tables\n\nWallpapering Your Background\n\nTo use an image as the background of your page, first make sure that the image is copied into your web folder. Then click on the "Browse" button by the text box labeled "Background Image" and find the image in your folder. Try to keep the image simple for easier readability contrast, or, if you really, really want to use a complicated image, use a white table on top of it.\n\nHere are some examples of pages with backgrounds:\n\n• Example of a page with a simple light background with dark text\n• Example of a page with a textured dark backgrond with light text \n• Example of a page with a complicated background (note how difficult it is to read the text!) and then with a white table on top to make it much clearer

Why don't you just type in one of the examples you have into the Yahoo Search uner the "IMAGES" section instead of the "WEB" section, download the pictures that you like and convert them to .bmp, and then set them as your background.

O SNAP SON! thats a perfect question, because im in commerical art class right now dealing with adobe illustration and photoshop so you asked the right question lol. What i would do is use the lasso tool (polygonial in specific) and then trace the image NOT FULLY, because then the only part youll have to edit is the inside, instead of editing inside trace it and then go outside and make a rectangle (or whatever) around the background so that the image is outside traced and the background  section is selected, FIRST make sure the background layer is selected (if you have more then one layer) (layers appear to the right of the screen in the program) (select it by just clicking on the layer tab) and then once you have done that you would want to select what color you want the background to be from the color palette and then use the paintbrush tool  to feel in the background in replace of white. You will have to repeat the lasso maybe a few times because its not like just outlining the object itself your outlining the background, OR you can just make a diffrent color background (have to make a diffrent layer (youll see how to make a diffrent layer at the bottom of the layer box just scroll those icons down there)) and then paint the layer the color you want it to be but MAKE SURE that the layer isnt on the image layer then it will all turn that color becasue a new layer overlaps and old one. If the image comes with the white background you probably just want to go with the lasso direction. Alright..thats it, hope yo find it out, if you dont just click my name on here and find out my contact info. PEACE! O yeah and make sure u drag and drop the clipart into photoshop to use it lol.

if you want a premade background go to a backgroud website (www.whateverlife.com is good) and choose one you like. then clike on 'get code' copy the whole code which looks like nonsence. on your myspace account go to 'edit profile' then in the 'about me' section paste the whole code. if you dont want a premade one but want to add your own pictures, go to google and search for a background creator, I have seen a pile of good creator sites but cant remember any right off.

Use layers to super-impose one photo on top of the other and use then decrease the opacity to make one transparent and if this didn't help then try searching the web.

this is just my process of getting an image background, it might help you and it might not, see if it does tho.  \n\nfind an image on google that you like, i dont know what you are looking for. and then right click it and save the picture. then go to photobucket.com and upload the image there then go to http://www.mygen.co.uk/ and when it asks for a picture url, go to photobucket and copy the URL box right under the picture. and create a layout. my suggestion is that you find an image that would look good tiled OR find an image that would look good centered/ full screened. customized all you want!\n\nto get to the about me section:\nlog in\non the right side of your photo find edit profile\ngo there and see an area that says "about me" and push edit\npaste your code there and submit it\nthen check out your awesome profile :]
