This tutorial will show you how to create youtube channel background.
For this tutorial I made my own template that you can download.

Open template.

When you open it, you'll see 2 layers, layer 1 and layer 2.
At layer 1, you can add text, pictures, change color or what ever you want.
(Make sure that you put picture, text layer under the Layer 2!)

At layer 2, I recommend to to only change color, but also if you want you can put some pictures. You also can erase some part of it if you want.

I'm going to show you how I create youtube background for my friend.

1. Let's change color of "Layer 1".
To do that,right click on layer 1, and select Blending Options. (Or double click on layer 1)

You can click on Color Overlay, Gradient Overlay or Pattern Overlay.
I want background black so I'm not going to use any of this...

2. Adding pictures.
You can do this by going to Menu Bar -> File -> Open or just drag picture in to photoshop.
Put the picure where ever you want. I'm going to put my picture on left side.

(You can edit that picture... example you can go to Blending Options and add some Outer Glow...)

3. Adding text... Add text where ever you want, chose what ever font you want, after that go to Blending Options and edit text...(Outer Glow, Inter Glow, Stroke...)
I'm going to add vertical text on left side, and add Outer Glow.

4. Go to File -> Save As... -> File Name: What ever you want / Format: JPEG. Click SAVE. Make sure that your image have maximum 256K.

Excellent tutorial, thank you very much

I do not agree.
This tutorial shows you how you use the render of a youtube template, and place one picture and two pieces of text (plus some glow effects which can be done by duplication gaussian blur layers up on each other in like 40 secs, or just using some brush in 2 secs).

So kinda, its not a great tutorial.
But on another side, its ok i guess.

I got a thread to the youtube template here: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=702777
For those who needs it and says its unavailable.

In mine I also layered each part for part. So you can make layer masks to each :):) Thats really cool.
