Making A Background

[EWeezy]

I want to make a Background.

1024x768 or 800x600



how do i do this? what programs can i use? i know i most likely can do it with PHotoshop....but i dont have it and it is really expensive

any freewares i can use or can i just use a windows program?

PAINT!!!!!!! :D :p. Or you can "borrow" photoshop from the internet... lol

or gimp it's about as fullfeatured as painshop pro or what ever the shareware program is called which is kinda a lite version of photoshop

i thought gimp was linux :O

anywho, download lime wire, then search for Photoshop. They have the "freeware" version there....

[EWeezy]

i am a total noob when it comes to graphics and stuff...so bear with me on these really noobish questions

you have to dl the GTK+ runtime environment for gimp...i want to make backgrounds for some websites...will they be able to see them if they dont have the runtime?

NVM guys...i "borrowed" a version of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 from the internet...and it's great!! :D

now i just have to figure out how to use it :p

wow thanks man...that site is great...PHotoshop owns!

yes the runtimes have nothing to do with the pictures
a picture is just a big ass'd array of pixels which are just dots and colour codes

if IE or the other browser support jpg gif or bmp or what ever you save as
it works

the runtimes are for the program called gimp
