1. Save the following tile in a folder in the My Documents folder on your desktop.

2. Open the Background Magic program, then choose Options, then choose Images from the Options Dialog Box. The Import/Remove Images Dialog Box appears, (pictured below). Browse for the above file you saved in your hard drive C, under My Documents, in this case BM_tut, yellow1.jpg. (BM_tut is a folder that was placed in the My Documents folder on my computer. Your folder could have a different name). Click Import, the Import/Remove Images Dialog Box disappears. The Options Dialog Box appears again, click Apply.

3. Click and hold down on the image slide bar and then scroll until you find the yellow1.jpg that you just imported.

4. Left click on the yellow1.jpg and drag it into the Image 1 box pictured below. Release your mouse to drop the yellow1.jpg into place. Then click and hold down on the image slide bar scrolling until you find the image tile pictured as Image 2. Click and drag it into place in the same fashion you did the yellow1.jpg.

5. Left click on the yellow1.jpg now located in the Image 1 box. Then under Image Adjustment click the Sharpen button. Then slide the Red slider to 47%, Green to 87%, and Blue to 121%. Leave the brightness slider set to 100%. You should get a representation similar to the one pictured below in the Image 1, Image 2, and Final Image boxes.

6. Left click on the image tile represented as Image 2 above. Then under Image Adjustment click the Invert button, (pictured below to the left. You should get a representation similar to the one pictured below in the Image 2 box. Click Keep under Image Adjustment.

7. Then slide the Red slider to 95%, Green to 63%, and Blue to 47%. Leave the brightness slider set to 100%. A representation appears in the Image 2 box similar to the one pictured below.

8. Left click on the Final Image and then set the Brightness to 84%, and leave the Red, Green, and Blue percentages set at 100%. You should get an image like Stubby's full background below. Click Save and then save the file under an appropriate name and folder.

Note: Don't close Background Magic if you wish to do the Left Backgrounds and Blank Banners and Words tutorials because they assume you're using the full tile you just fashioned in this tutorial.

Timely Tip: Left Side Backgrounds and Banners Buttons can still be fashioned if you remember to save your newly made image tile. Just import the new image back into Background Magic and then place it in the spaces for Image 1 and Image 2. That places your original image into the Final Image and you can progress from there making adjustments.
