Question by experincso: How do I change a Photoshop CS4 photo into my desktop wallpaper?
I made a text picture of fire text of my name and I want to put that picture as my desktop wallpaper. But how do I do that?

Answer by Thirteen.
You would have to save your creation as either a .GIF file or a .PNG file on your desktop (or anywhere else you would like.) I would suggest a .PNG file because you will have much better image quality as a .PNG file than a .GIF file. After that, just locate the file you saved right click on it once and you will find an option to set this as desktop background.

The fact that you’re asking that question makes me think that you’re not (very) familiar with Photoshop.
If that is the case, you have a LOT of learning to do before you would even want to think about getting more stuff.
Learn it, use it, and practice – in time, you’ll KNOW what other goodies you’ll need or want.
Question by GS: How do I put a .gif into a photo in Photoshop CS4?
I want to put a .gif animation onto a picture, with the animation still functioning.
But when I open the .gif in Photoshop CS4, I can’t edit it or put it onto the photo.
How can I put the .gif on to the photo with the animation still intact? (I did not make the .gif myself if that helps.)
Thanks in advance!
Answer:
Answer by Unca Alby
You have to understand, photos are NOT animations.
You can grab ONE FRAME of an animated gif and incorporated it into your photo, but that’s it.
What probably you want to do is incorporate the PHOTO into the ANIMATION. That’s an entirely different concept — consider, for example, that you have an animation of a bouncing ball, and you take a photograph of Piccadilly Square. When you add them together, what you have is an ANIMATION with, say, Piccadilly Square as the background, and a bouncing ball in the foreground.
It’s not a “picture”, it’s a “movie”.
Sadly, Photoshop can not do that by itself. You have to purchase additional plug-ins.
Alternatively, you can download Gimp (www.gimp.org) for free, and download animation tools for it for free.

Answer by fhotoace
You don’t really need Photoshop to do that. You need to 1) shoot at your cameras highest resolution, 2) fill the frame in the camera so you don’t later have to throw away any of the image file and 3) make sure all your images are shot so not subject or camera movement causes blur
Spending $ 700 or so on CS4 to “fix” mistakes made in the camera is not a good economical strategy. Better so spend your money on a second lens and learn to use your camera to get the shots in the camera … an not need to use any photo program to fix mistakes

Answer by iDesign71
There are a number of ways to do this, but here’s a simple way.
Find a clipart type heart in the shape you like. Look for something about the size of the image you want to produce or insert a clipart image in a Word document and scale.
Copy this image from Word or open the picture format file in Photoshop, select and copy (eg using magic wand tool) – depending on your choice of picture.
Paste it in your Photoshop photo document. Place in the position where you want it so that the photo is positioned over the heart shape. It should paste on a layer of its own.
Now select the heart shape (magic wand) again, click on the layer containing your photo, go to menu Select>Inverse and then to menu Edit>Clear.
Your photo will now be in the shape of the heart. Delete or hide the layer that contains the heart shape and save your file (remember to use Save As to keep the original photo intact).

Question by Incognito: How do I get my brush to work after layering/masking my photo? I use Photoshop 7.0.1?
After I’ve created my mask and hit the b-key for brush to start brushing over my photo to paint in changes to second (top) photo copy nothing happens. I hit the x-key and try again but nothing is happening. These instructions I rec’vd via email from a Photoshop CS user so maybe the x-key is the wrong one. If I could just get my brush to work on my mask I can then experiment with what I am trying to achieve.

Open the photo.
If you don’t have the layers palette open press F7 or click window/layers from the drop down menu.
Then if your on a windows, alt+double click the layer (background layer should be the only layer so far) If your on a mac, option+ double click on that background layer.
This should remove the lock from that layer.
Then at the bottom of the layers palette click the little grey square that has the white circle in it. This should add a mask the the current layer.
http://www.idigitalemotion.com/tutorials/guest/masking/maskicon.jpg
Then press (D) this is to set the default foreground and background colors to black and white if they are not already.
Then press (B) to get your brush. Then click the mask(white square that is next to the layer in the layers palette.)
press (X) to switch foreground and background colors.
(make sure that this sets your foreground color to black)
Then with that mask selected, paint on the layer.
The painted selection should disappear revealing the checkerboard transparency.
Hope that helps.
