Do we have any Photoshop experts on this forum?
If so, would someone please be able to make me a nice background with these pics? It can be one background with both pics in or 2 backgrounds with 1 bike in each.
I've no idea how to use Photoshop, wish I did, but I'd like a cool background with these pics.

What sort of background are you after?

This kind of thing;

Not those exact ones of course but I hope that gives you an idea of the sort of thing I'm after?
Do you mean wallpaper for your computer? Just right-click on the picture and select 'set as desktop background' in XP, don't know how to do it in Vista.
You need to look at the people who charge..those pictures with the Audis are by real graphic designers, doubt any average user could come up with that kind of detail

I know exactly how to set that picture as my background, I don't want that picture as my background though. I want someone to play about with it in photoshop and make it look pretty!

I've absolutely no idea how much skill and time is needed to make something like that but I posted this on another forum and got something similar to those Audi ones within an hour.
This is what he did, which I think looks incredible (apart from the 2 little bikes being back to front);

I've posted it on here cause I'd like a few different ones so I can change them as I wish and have them on my work PC/laptop.
The style is a blend of abstract with a shopped car - if you want something fast and easy get an abstract wallpaper and compose the bike on top of it. If you want something nice - its way too much work to be doing for free!

The one I posted above was free, is superb, and took less than an hour.
I know nothing about Photoshop but the guy that made it me said, and I quote "I just went crazy with the layers". I may be wrong but that tells me its pretty straightforward for anyone that knows how to use Photoshop.
I wouldn't want to trouble anyone though if its too much to ask.

You could always get yourself a copy of GIMP (Graphic Image Manipulation Program) and do this yourself. It has extensive documentation, doesn't cost a penny and is very similar to Photoshop.
Download GIMP here: http://www.gimp.org/windows/
I agree with adaline, its a lot of work to be doing it for free.
Your best off going to www.deviantart.com , there should be a ton of picture you like - you just have to find them ;) Once you find some artists that do your sort of thing, ask them to do you a composite of the bike.

I already have Gimp but have no idea how to use it to do stuff like that. I'd rather someone who's good at it have a go.
I'll stick with the other forum anyway, the lads on there say they can do this sort of thing in 10-20 minutes.
Thanks for your response all the same.
