In Adobe

1. Create a new BLACK background
layer
Set BACKGROUND COLOUR to BLACK in TOOLS
PALETTE
FILE > NEW > SELECT 1024 x 768 in
drop down menu
CONTENTS = BACKGROUND COLOUR
2. Open your photo in photoshop and
place your photo onto the black
background
Select the MOVE TOOL and place over
your photo
Left click on your photo (and hold) and
drag onto the black background
If you hold down the SHIFT KEY at the
same time this will place the photo in
the centre
3. Resize your photo to fit the
background
EDIT > TRANSFORM > SCALE
You will now see a "bounding box"
Click and drag from the corners to
resize the photo
If you hold down the SHIFT + ALT keys
at the same time you will retain the
proportion and maintain the central
position of the photo
Press RETURN on keyboard once you have
resized
Go to LAYER > FLATTEN IMAGE
FILE > SAVE
Useful Tip: Whilst the bounding
box is active you can use the arrow
keys on the keyboard to move the photo
to "fine tune" its
position
