CREATING BACKGROUNDS:

The main function of Single Row Marquee Tool and Single Column Marquee Tool is creating backgrounds.

1.  First set background color of your choice. Here I took black.

2 . Go to FILE menu and click on NEW option.

3.  Then a box appears, in that box make changes of your choice or follow the image and press ok.

4.  Now create a New layer from Layer palette and select New layer (by default it is selected). Selected layer is highlighted with blue color.

5.  First select Single Row Marquee Tool and draw some horizontal lines. Then select Single Column Marquee Tool and draw some vertical lines as we created in previous tutorial. Look at the following image.

6.  Go to Tools Panel and select Brush Tool or simply press “B” in keyboard to select the Brush Tool.

Increase the brush size, to do this press closed bracket “ ] ”.

7.  Now change foreground color with any one of your favorite one. Here I took “red” color.

8.  Now click and hold mouse left button and rub over the lines randomly . don’t release mouse button until the completion of rubbing.

9.  Again change the foreground color with your favorite color. Here I took green color and again rub over the lines as we did earlier.

10.  You will not see any change at first. But after the completion of rubbing, press "CTRL+D" to deselect the selection. Now see what you have just created. You will be now able to see all the changes and we finally created a beautiful background with lines.
