Part 2

To make the pictures fadey-like...
First make sure you have the layer you want to fade selected.

Go to Adjustments --> Transparency. (Download that addon!)

Mess with the level. (It will stay the same the next time you pull it up so don't panic about making the next layer the same amount of fadey-ness.)

Then add a new layer for the next picture...and so on.

This is my end result. Be sure to do your own thing!

You know on my background how I made the Labs blue? Well I'm going to add a little shade of purple, and this is how you do it.
Open up a new layer.

There's like an arrow in the color box to open up the advanced part. Lower the Transparency part. (The thing my mouse is on.)

Click on the Fill-In tool. (Paint bucket.)

Click, and bam.

Now to add pictures.
I'm going to take my own pictures.
Right click a picture, and click on Open With --> Paint.NET.
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...kinz/077-1.jpg

Click on this tool.
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...kinz/078-1.jpg

Go to Edit --> Select All.
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...kinz/079-1.jpg

Go to Edit --> Copy.
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...kinz/080-1.jpg

Go to File --> New and open up a new project. Then click on Edit --> Paste. This will be your copy of your pic that you will use for your banner. Close out the real copy.
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...kinz/081-1.jpg

Now, click on the magnifying glass to Zoom In.
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...kinz/082-1.jpg

Zoom in! Yaay!
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...kinz/083-1.jpg

Click on the Eraser tool.
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...kinz/084-1.jpg

Make the eraser as big or small as you need it to be.
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...kinz/085-1.jpg

Then I will erase a line around Cottonball and the laptop.
