Background : Playing with Feather & Opacity...

Good Day!

1. The e-wallpaper requirements is the wallpaper is in A4 size. So I must create an A4 size wallpaper. To get an A4 size, you don't need to use your ruler to measure the exact A4 size paper then key in the measurements and then only you get your A4 size background for your work. Simply click File > New > Preset > International Paper > Size > A4 > Ok.

2. Now, feather is where you want to take a shape of picture then you want to make from a sharp picture to blurry picture from centre to outer picture. I've the FOM picture, now I want to use feather to make the bacground more attractive.

3. Get a picture, the find Marquee Tool at the toolbar. Click a little longer and a popop will pop out asking which shape do you want. I choose Elliptical Marquee Tool.

4. Drag the Marquee Tool to make a shape. Don't drag too much as it will spread out automatically if using Feather. We don't want the shape to spread to the boundary of the picture as it will soon just like the original picture.

5. At the horizontal toolbar, you may find a Feather blank box stating how many pixels you want. I change it to 45 px and hit Enter.



6. Click Move Tool, and click at the picture, try to drag left right up down, you may see that the picture have been cut smoothly and it's getting blurry at the end of the picture.

7. Drag it to a new pages to make a new background.

8. Opacity is to make the picture transparent by certain percentage. Use it to make it dissolve into the white background so when your words written will be more clearer.
