Photoshop Backgrounds

i am coloring drawings in photoshop 7 and i cant figure out how to add a background lol!! newb question need answering:ggani:

well u kinda cant lol u have to make a layer below everything else if and only if the people arent surounded by like white if so u are problyy going to have to do a multiple layer of everything then put the background behind and then delete what doesnt look good

You can do whatever you want, dont listen to Buttink for he is wrong... but always have your background as the bottom layer, and always have some way to have the forground transparent where the bg should be. look up some photoshop tutorials on layers and such. www.polykarbon.com has some ok photoshop tuts I think

_| |_ NO IT DOESNT WORK TAHT WAY hes probly has a pic and the backgroudn is white so he will have to make a layer at the bottem then erase the white SO AUREN JUST GO FUK YOURSELF I SERIUSLY HATE U TO HELL

wow buttink, there are easy ways to get around white backrounds. check the tutorial in the link that auren gave you and see for yourself. :bgrun:

One such way is having the lineart as top layer, set to multiply, colors under that, and background on bottom.
Seriously, I'm none too fond of you either, though I can control myself, and please man, watch the typos, ja?:cuss:

buttboy you have proven to be a rambling idiot once more...

please, i hereby forbid you to give people advice. if they can even understand it, you are wrong anyway.

what the hell was buttink was trying to say?

anywhoo,

i may leave the backgound white or use it as a part of my layer then dublicate that layer and do something over it....

i can't explain it so i'm not going to try.

just play around with the filters and the layers. thats how i learned.
