Presuming they haven't been ripped out of your version.

Most tutorials on the net presume a basic level of competence.

You need to explain what you are trying to do a bit better. Do you mean you are trying to paste different images into the one document? PS has decent enough online help (as in from within the program). You need to read up on "layers" I'd say.

426264 2006-02-02 02:47:00 What I am trying to do is create desktop wallpapers using multiple images by overlapping them and adding effects, that is the best I can describe it.

Although I have just been able to insert 2 pics into the one by layering them, but the top one had to have a opacity of 50% and this makes the images faded, so I adjusted the contrast and that got it working :)

Now to figure out the effects, more fun there :rolleyes:

426265 2006-02-02 07:03:00 From what I gather, you're trying to create a collage. Type that into the search function in the programme's Help.

But it's quite easy anyway (if I understand you): simply create a new image, then open any other images, and copy and paste them into the new image. Lemon Squeezy.

426266 2006-02-02 08:13:00 Already tried that and it comes up with "No pages contain: collage" :groan:

what I want to do is use the main focus of the images, not the background as well, if that makes any sense :confused: so how can I separate the main focus from the background if possible?

What you need to do is to cut it out of the background. To do this, a common tool to use is the "Magnetic Lasso", or to do a rough cutout using the "Lasso" tool and then use the eraser to touch up any bits you've missed.

I think thats all for now :p Thanks everyone for your help :)
