I’m new to Photoshop and I need help how to create wallpaper. I have an image required, there is few basic steps needed. First I need prepare background 1024 x 768, then put there an image, and align it at right side.To prepare wallpaper background, I will use some small part of backround for a whole background, i.e. I want stretch part of background to fill the whole background with this small fragment. Then I need select main image with special tool and cut it out. Then paste an image to background and align image as required. Could someone post details instruction( for Photoshop 6.0) how to achieve this, step by step guide.

thanks

One way:
Open image and use Rectangular Marquee tool (top left in tool palette) to make your selection, then Edit>copy.
File>New and make the size 1024 * 768 pixels
Paste your copied section into the new file.(ctrl+v or Edit>Paste) Then,Edit>Transform>Scale or Distort (depending on aspect ratio)and drag the handles about to fill your layer.

Save image as a JPG.

The "background" colour doesn’t really matter, though you may be better off using a white background.
You do not need to open and save the new file, you can copy you selection from your original picture and paste it into the file. In this scenario, both images will be open at the same time. Once you have made and copied your selection, you can close the original file without saving, leaving only the new, usaved file in your workspace. Once you have dragged your selection to fit the new file and are happy with the result, then you do a "Save As" give it a name and save it as a JPG.
One more thing, if you are doing this to make wallpaper, when you create your new file (1024 * 768pixels ) you only need to set the resolution to 72 ppi (may be the default.) This will give you an screen display of 14.22 * 10.67 inches. (17.78 inches on the diagonal)

Opps, I reread attentively, now clear. Background is ready. The other question is how to select and cut out a figure from one image and paste it on this prepared background?

Open the image from which you want to make your selection.

Using the Marquee tool (First tool on the left in the toolbar or press M on your keyboard) and drag your selection out with the mouse (click, hold down and drag)

You will see a twinkling, dashed box around your selection, yes? What ever is inside this box can be copied. If it isn’t quite in the right place you can move it with your arrow keys.

To copy your selection, go to Edit>Copy, or hold down the Control key (ctrl) and press C. You can then close this image if you wish. File>Close (don’t save it)

Open your background image and the go to Edit>Paste or hold down the ctrl key and press V.

This will put your copied selection onto the background.

From what you say this selection will be very small, yes? So, you will need to make it bigger to fill your background.

To do so, go to Edit>Transform>Scale or hold down the ctrl key and press T.

You will see that your selection is now surrounded by a box with little squares at the corners and sides.

You then click, hold down and drag with your mouse to make the selection fit to the background. (practise)

When you are happy with the result, click on the "tick" mark on your options bar or hit the enter key on your numeric keypad.

You should now have a background layer filled with your resized selection.

Go to File>Save as, give it a name and in the drop down file type box, choose JPG.

Hoping this is of some help to you.
