BACKGROUND FADE TUTORIAL

*2014-2015 Background Image FADE Tutorial*
	STEP ONE: Open your LARGE image in PHOTOSHOP. First thing is to use SELECTIVE COLOR to make one subject stand out in color while the rest of the photo will be made BLACK and WHITE.
	STEP TWO: Use the QUICK SELECTION tool to highlight your subject. You will probably need to use the + and - tools at the top of the screen to ADD or SUBTRACT pixels from your selection until it is close to perfect.
	STEP THREE: We do not actually want your subject highlighted, we want EVERYTHING else selected, so that we can turn the photo black and white. CLICK SELECT> INVERSE. Now everything but your subject is selected.
	STEP FOUR: With the inverse of your subject selected, CLICK IMAGE> ADJUSTMENTS> HUE/SATURATION.
	STEP FIVE: Turn the background of your photo Black and White by sliding the SATURATION SLIDER all the way to the LEFT. Almost done with our SELECTIVE COLOR!
	STEP SIX: Now click SELECT> DESELECT to clean our canvas of selections for the next step.
	STEP SEVEN: Click the GRADIENT TOOL, as shown, then double click the GRADIENT SELECTION BOX to adjust your gradient colors.
	STEP EIGHT: Double click on any GRADIENT SWATCH WITH TWO COLORS to select it.
	STEP NINE: Click the LOWER LEFT COLOR STOP, then select a COLOR from the bottom panel that is close to a color in your photo. You can use the Eyedropper tool to get a direct color.
	STEP TEN: Then, click the UPPER RIGHT OPACITY STOP and turn the OPACITY to 0%. This will give a gradient that is colored on one side and transparent on the other side.
	STEP ELEVEN: Now click and drag your GRADIENT to cover your photo. Remember, the color will be where you click and the transparent will be where you drag. You may need to experiment to get this exactly the way you like it.
	STEP TWELVE: Now upload your photo to yearbookavenue.com and put it as your page background. Notice that the color title strip is ONE UNIT high and uses a color from your background photo!
