This tutorial will show you how to add a coloured and/or graduated background to your bead photo. You can use Steps 3 and 4 together, or individually depending on the effect you are after. There are many ways of tackling this in Photoshop, but this is my preferred method.

1. Selecting the background
For the purposes of this exercise, I am using the previously cleaned up bead photo from Tutorial 1. A clean and simple background and well defined objects makes this easier to do, but is not essential. In the tools palette select the magic wand and use the following suggested settings.

Photoshop is a graphic editing tool that allows the user to create and manipulate images for print, the web, and other media. It is a powerful tool and this handout only introduces the basics; many of the tools need to be explored by the user to see all of their capabilities.

Tools Found in the Toolbox
The tools in the toolbox let you select, paint, edit, and view images. Other tools are used to choose foreground and background colors, create quick masks, and change the screen display mode. Many tools have associated Brushes and Options Palettes, which let you define the tools’ painting and editing effects.

1. Interface
Besides being the most apparent change when you launch Photoshop CS3, the new interface builds on the strengths of Photoshops past. Part of the beauty of the new interface is that although it’s familiar, there are some important changes that make it more efficient. The Palette Well is gone, and the Workspace menu appears right in the Options Bar. The palettes can be collapsed to small icons, and if you press Shift+Tab to hide all the floating palettes, the palettes will reappear when you hover over the right side of the work area. This new interface is all about giving you a larger work area and from what I can tell, it takes the average user around 47 seconds to love this new interface

The toolbox may be the single most important component of the work area, as it contains most of the tools you’ll use for selecting, moving, cropping, retouching, and enhancing your images. The tools are arranged in the general order you’ll be using them, with the most commonly used selection tools near the top, through to the painting, drawing, and color selection tools toward the bottom. The toolbar is docked on the left edge of the work area where the tools are displayed in a single, long column. If you prefer, the toolbar can be pulled a short distance from the left edge, where it will display the tools in Adobe’s more common, two-column format
