"Adobe Photoshop is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems, Incorporated, and I am in no way affiliated with Adobe. Alright, so in this tutorial, I'm actually going to show you how to make a background. What you're going to want to do to make a background is, you're going to want to go down over here on your layers palette and create a new layer. But you want to create a new layer that is below your master copy. The master copy is the one that has the actual effects on it, drop shadow and whatnot. And now what we want to do is actually go to our-and we're going to make like a corkboard type background. And it's not going to be an exact corkboard, because there's different ways to do it. And this is just a real simple method I'm going to show you guys. You want to go ahead and pick a brownish color, kind of like what I have here. You're going to hit "Ok". And the way I got there was actually by clicking down over here on the "Set Foreground". You just click, and hit "Ok". And now you want to paint in there with your paint bucket. And that color actually does not look too good. So I'm going to go back and paint a lighter color. Ah, that looks a little bit better right there. And what you want to do is you want to go over to your filters. You want to go to texture, and texturizer. And it's already automatically going to give you kind of like a corkboard type look. Now I'm just going to actually hit "Ok". And you can do all sorts of scaling, and make it look more realistic. Now I'm actually just going to just leave that alone. And now you've got yourself a kind of corkboard type look. And we're going to leave that like that."
