Create Your Own Logo Wallpaper

Your wallpaper, or screen background, is a very personal thing. It’s easy enough to place just about any image you want on your desktop with a click of the right mouse button, but you almost immediately get into problems with aspect ratios and resolution—an image that’s too small looks terrible when stretched across your monitor.

Create a Cool Color Splash Effect

There’s A Photographic Effect you may have seen if you’re friends with any parents on Facebook. An image is drained of color, apart from specific hues, which are injected back into the otherwise monochrome image.It’s a bit overused—and, if we’re being honest, groan-inducing, especially when applied to photos of newborn babies—but by recreating it, we can gain some insights into how Photoshop works, because it’s possible to do it in a couple different ways, depending on whether you choose to work on the colors involved specifically, by selecting them directly, or just the area you want to work on more generally, by selecting the pixels in a certain area, no matter what color they are.It’s a relatively simple effect, albeit a striking one, so is something you could achieve in image editing apps other than Photoshop. And if you can use it to make a new mom smile, then we’ve all made the world a better place.
