Welcome to the newest tutorial! Aren't you excited! I know I am. Hee.

Last week, we discussed how to properly remove a green screen from a Second Life snapshot, leaving you with only an avatar and a blank background, free and clear to do whatever you please. Today, we'll be discussing what to do with that blank background, as well as how to create drop shadows for your images. What's a picture without an intereting background, right? Right, then!

A couple of things you'll need before we move on in this tutorial:

1. A snapshot, cleaned up of green screen, ready to have a background put into position. You may download the one I'll be working on (as well as the other files used in this tutorial) here if you'd like to follow along.

2. Photoshop or GIMP (a free alternative to Photoshop - downloadable here).

3. Imagination! Your background can be anything you want it to be. It is up to you to make it that way! I will simply be showing you some basic attack tactics. :)
