when you mean spotlights coming from the bottom... you want a gradient effect? There is a spotlight-like filter, I think

also, if you're going to include a picture, just use the Attach file feature

dont forget, u have to save the file as a jpg or gif first. you cannot display psd files in attachments.



#!: pretty much anything is possible in photoshop, so dont ask

#2 go to: Filter>Render>Lighting Effects. ull get ur spotlight type stuff. u can change direction and area of light by clicking on the oval on the left. u can also change the color of the light by clicking the top white box on the right.

u can also add new lights by dragging the lightbulb on the left onto the preview screen. delete lights by dragging their center to the trash

u should play around with the settings a bit to get the type of background u want.

oh and if u want some preset lighting effects go to style

go to save as and save your file as filename.gif
