I have photoshop cs2,and I really need to know how people make these kinds of backgrounds.
How they have a background then text over the background.
Because usually when you put text over a image it leaves a white background.
Help please.10 points best answer.

Text set in photoshop usually does not knockout the background. If the text is a photographic or vector element brought into photoshop as a layer, then you can set the blending option for the layer to multiply, and it will blend with the background.
How to set the blend option in Photoshop:
In the layers palette, select the type layer.
There is a pull down menu at the top left of the palette.
Set the layer blending mode to multiply.
The type should now appear to be over the background image.How do I make backgrounds like this using photoshop cs2?
if you mean having the text on the webpage over a website's existing background (not in photoshop) ....then they use a PNG file for the text.
make your text on a transparent layer in photoshop. if you have any other layers, then hide them (click the little eye next to the layer). You should now see a checkerboard background behind your text.
go to File %26gt; Save for Web... and choose PNG as the filetype.
(make sure transparency is checked)
PNG files save transparency information with the image, like a GIF file does... But where a GIF is limited to 256 colors, a PNG can have millions of colors, so you can have very nice graduated fades, etc.
this will create an image that is opaque where you have text, but transparent everywhere else, which will allow the web page's background to show through.
If you find that the transparent part is showing up white in your browser, it's because Internet Explorer 6 and previous versions don't display PNG files correctly. Do a google search for ';IE6 png bug fix'; (or something similar), and you'll find a small bit of code you can insert into the webpage that will fix the problem for anyone using IE6 that visits your page.
That is very, very simple to make. You will want to make a new RGB document that will be the right size to look good online. Create a new layer, fill it with your desired color. Then create rectangles with either you rectangular marquee tool or shapes tool. Fill those with a secondary color. For your text, you'll want to download a grunge font from a website like ';dafont.com';. As you make more and more names or phrases with text, simply rotate them to create the random look.

Should my photoshop document be cmyk or rgb?
My artwork is being designed from photoshop at 300 dpi. I will eventually place it in an illustrator document that is CMYK. Should I design my artwork in photoshop in CMYK? I usually design in RGB and convert it to CMYK TIFF before bringing into illustrator.Should my photoshop document be cmyk or rgb?
If your work is EVER intended to go out to a commercial print service bureau, then convert it to CMYK before you bring it into illustrator.
If this isn't done, the graphic will not print. Most printers will assign a technician to ';preflight'; the Illustrator file, to make sure the conversion is done, and to set the traps, chokes, bleeds and other steps needed to make sure the digtal file will run properly. The printer has to pay the tech to do this, so, will charge you accordingly. The more you prepare the file before sending it, the less the print job will cost.
This is one of the main reason I went almost 100% digital some years back. The more of these steps I can do, myself, the less I have to pay someone else to do them. PLUS, I still get to charge my clients for the time I spend doing this.
';Hans W'; has a very good point, however. If these files are only intended for viewing on a monitor, such as for eventuall uploading to the web, then it makes absolutely NO difference whether you work in RGB or CMYK mode. ALL monitors display in RGB.Should my photoshop document be cmyk or rgb?
There is no outward difference between RGB or CMYK in Photoshop. The only differences are behind the scenes and handled automatically by the program. Working in RGB and then saving in CMYK would be no different than working in CMYK the entire time.
You might also consider working in LAB mode. The colors in the LAB workspace are richer and offer a wider dynamic range.

Why do grayscale images turn out lighter when exporting a PDF from Indesign than how I see them in Photoshop?
I converted RGB images to grayscale in Photoshop, placed them in my InDesign doc, exported it as a PD, and the end result is much lighter grayscale images than what I had worked on originally in Photoshop.Why do grayscale images turn out lighter when exporting a PDF from Indesign than how I see them in Photoshop?
Well it depends on where the 'much lighter' is showing up; your screen or your printing? If it is just your screen I wouldn't be too concerned, as InDesign probably converted the color profile when you created the PDF, especially if your PDF contains other CMYK art.
It also depends on what type of pdf you created, whether it's color profile is CMYK, RGB or Grayscale and if you changed the resolution of your image in the PDF'ing process.
Really, the only place you need to be concerned about this is in your proofs. If you print the art from Photoshop directly, and then using the same printer, print it from your PDF, is there a difference? There shouldn't be.
But if it is inconsistent, I would check what PDF format you're using and make sure it has a color profile in the PDF export dialog. Next I would try assigning a color profile to the image in Photoshop (Go to Edit %26gt; Assign Profile) first.

Is there a difference in quality when saving in JPEG versus Photoshop or PNG formats?
If I'm saving a photo after editing it in Photoshop, will there be a difference in the quality and resolution of the print if I save it as a JPEG opposed to photoshop or png formats?Is there a difference in quality when saving in JPEG versus Photoshop or PNG formats?
Yes. jpg's or jpegs are a ';lossy';, that is information is thrown away in order to make the file size smaller. Each time you re-save an image (after editing it) as a jpg, more information is lost.
';Saving an image to JPEG format, always introduces some loss in quality, though the loss at a quality setting of 100 is barely detectable by the average naked eye. In addition, using a quality setting of 100 compared to a quality setting of 90-95 or so will result in a considerably higher file size relative to the degree of image loss. If your software doesn't provide a JPEG preview, try saving several copies of an image at 90, 95, and 100 quality and compare file size with image quality. Chances are, there will be no distinguishable difference between the 90 and 100 image, but the difference in size could be significant. Keep in mind, though, that subtle color shifting is one effect of JPEG compression--even at high quality settings--so JPEG should be avoided in situations where precise color matching is important.';
However, a 10% compression can cut the file size in half, and the change in image quality may not be perceptible in your print. So it comes down to a trade off between image quality and file storage space.
';JPEG is best suited for large photographic images where file size is the most important consideration, such as images that will be posted on the Web or transmitted via email and FTP. JPEG is not suitable for most small images under a few hundred pixels in dimension, and it is not suitable for screen shots, images with text, images with sharp lines and large blocks of color, and images that will be edited repeatedly.';
In the case of digital photos, I often have three versions. The original image from the camera (either jpg or RAW), a ';working copy'; usually saved as a photoshop psd or png, and the final print ready jpg. I save my originals and working copies in case I ever change my mind and want to undo any changes I may have made to the image.

The advantages of saving an image as a psd would be that you can keep all the information from the image. It also saves any seperate layers and adjustments you made. The quality of a psd is higher then a jpeg. Jpegs are mostly used for internet use because they become more compact and get rid of seemingly unnecessary visual information. When you create a jpeg, your image is flattened at it will be impossible to go back and tweak the adjustments you previously made. Each time you save an image thats a jpeg you lose more and more information. If you are printing an image, you should probably print it as a cmyk tif. Tifs store a lot of information and they are very reliable files. I don't know about pngs. I never have a reason to save as png. Hope this helps.
