How do I create my own wallpaper using Photoshop?

First it helps if you know how to use Photoshop.\nTo put it simply\n--  In Photoshop set up a page that is set to the same size as your screen resolution, 800X600 or larger.\n--  Then you paint in the colors that you want on your background for your pictures.\n--  Open the picture files for your album covers (assuming you took pictures of them with a digital camera and uploaded them onto your computer).\n--  Copy each picture and paste it on top of your background image.  Keep doing that until all the pictures are where you want them.\n--  Save the file as either a JPEG (.jpg) or Bitmap (.bmp) image in a directory where you can find it.  The best place to put it is in the Windows Directory and save it your Wallpaper file.\n--  Go to the desktop and right click, on the drop down menu then select the properties menu.\n--  Go to the Background tab and select the browse button then find your image and click open.\n\nIf you don’t know how to use Photoshop then you need to learn how to use the select tool, the hand tool, and the cut and paste buttons.  You use a rectangular select tool to select your album covers then copy them.  Select the wallpaper blank image and paste the cover into to it.  Use the resizing tool to change the size and the hand tool to move it around.  Once you deselect the selection tool then the picture is put in place.  I suggest that you read the help files on these topics to get a better idea of how to use them.\n\nWhat you want to do is a fairly simple task, that a skilled person can do in a matter of minutes.\n\nWebshot is a program that switches thet wallpaper from a image directory.  However, it uses a lot of system resources and the IT professional that I know removes it from any computer he finds it on.

A Wallpaper is simply an image - there's nothing special you need.  About the only thing to consider is making the image file the right size for your desktop.  Otherwise it may get streched or cropped and not display as you intended.

if you are talking about wanting to be able to use them as wallpaper for your computer, you can size it using paint.  when you open MS Paint... to locate go to start programs accessories paint -- across the top of paint is file edit view image.... go to image, from image go to attributes, click inches and type in 12 in width and height.  Open your picture that you want to use into another paint document  go to image, stretch skew and reduce or enlarge depending on the photo.  and then copy and paste into your 12 by 12 paint document.    when changing the size of your photo before you copy paste it be sure to save it under a different name than the original so you do not loose your original.  i do this quite a bit and if you would like help with your photos e-mail me and i can size it for you.

Find a pic you like and upload it to a photobucket account, www.photobucket.com , you can then use the tag from photobucket to to make a background at www.layoutpimper.com it is fairly easy and has step by step directions.  Thats how I do all of mine.

the easies way to do this is go to file > open, then find the image you want to put into your picture.  then select it and it will be opened in a new photoshop file. now press control A, on the keyboard (or apple A on a mac) and this will select the entire image. now on the keyboard hold control and press C. that will copy the image. now go to your picture that you have made so far. and hold control and press V(or apple V on mac), which will paste the image that you coppied. now its over the image.  if you have to resize the image you pasted just press control T, which means transform, and you can move or resize the image, after that hit enter.  and im guessing you can figure out how to use the eraser and stuff. good luck! -George

do a google search - "Photoshop tutorials".  There are probably hundreds of techniques to learn. Start with the basics because these are fun to practice: effects, filters, brushes and styles, etc. You should become adept with several popular styles: metallic, fiery, watery, icy and so on.\n\nFrom there you study typography, color combinations, layouts so that your finished work will come out with a consistent theme: conservative, futuristic, horror, bold, etc. These are just some of the more "useful" themes. Be adept at several themes so that execution of a project becomes easy and several treatments for a theme can be easily compared

There are quite a lot of tutorials on the net, but there are variations in different photoshop versions, so you may need to adapt instructions if you are using another version.\n\nhttp://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/bllps5out.htm\nis a good site if you're looking for a learn-all-basics tutorial.  Its for photoshop version 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0.  You also have the option to join the course (its free!).  Of course, you can just browse through the course material without joining to learn it by yourself.\n\nIf you're looking for tutorials on specific topics, I recommend:\nhttp://www.good-tutorials.com/\n\nIt has lots and lots of tutorials from different users, so its a good way if you want to see different ways in doing the same thing.  Since the tutorials are all written by different authors, you have to make sure the specific tutorial is for your version of photoshop.

any picture can be used as a wallpaper. it depends on what your looking for, but just browse for the pictures you want.. once you find them right click on them and there will be the option "set as desktop background" and it makes it your wallpaper.. but if you change the image then you will lose it. to save it click on the picture and select save as.

Its really quite simple. You want to have both of the pictures you want open. Then create a new document of the size that you need. Go to each picture do ctrl+A this will highlight the pic. Then ctrl-c (copy)...then go to your new doc and ctrl+V this will paste and at the same time create the layers you need to modify and move. If you need more tutorials on how to do a lot of this stuff there are some really great ones online here is one of my favorite sites that I have found very helpful.\n\nPhotoshop can be tricky and sometimes annoying if you are not familiar with it. If you are new to Photoshop try Photoshop elements its a waterdown version of the professional and more user friendly for the new user.
