picture of a seagull

We will start with a picture of a seagull. Notice that he does not at all look like a background.




white seagull with blue background

Notice what happens when I make the background blue and all of the colors in the bird white.




seagull with light blue background

When I made the picture lighter, notice how much better it looks as a background.

    background

That is because after the blue was lightened with white, the edges did not line up. You will notice that the top and bottom edges are not the same but the left and right edges are the same.

    change in paintbrush

I will change the width to 0.82 inches. Now, see how it looks.




the changed 
    background

By changing the white in the picture to blue and changing the blue in the picture to white, it makes a softer appearance.




Once you get used to working with paintbrush and changing your bmp files to gif files, you can make some very individual backgrounds for your web pages.
