How To Make A Custom Youtube 2.0 Background (With Templates)

Today we're going to be taking a look at making a custom Youtube background using Adobe Photoshop.
And before you ask, I don't make Youtube backgrounds for free. If you take a quick look at my channel comments you'll see how many requests I get for Youtube backgrounds, and if I was to make one for everyone that asked, that's all I would be doing all day long. Part of the reason I made this tutorial is so you guys can do it on your own, and won't need to depend on others to make it for you. But, if you still want a professional quality background from an experienced graphic designer, then check out my personal graphic designing website, http://OctoDesigner.com , for some background info, my online portfolio, and my pricing options.

@thegalaxy09 The size of the actual channel is 1800 x 1600, thumbs up so people know!

background doesn't fit, left side is bigger can someone help!

[Pr3dProductionsHD]

@Donultimite It should definately work, either you've got a bad program or you didn't type in the correct size or you are a partner; because that worked for everyone else, and there are about 47 people who liked my status and obviously got it right. So check again, maybe try a different program, and if your a partner, the measurements are probably different. :l

@BeeLayzTv

just mess around with it. it may fit for other people, depending on your OWN screen size.

@Pr3dProductionsHD

well, um, that didnt work for me. it kinda depends on your screen size, which is why youtube should fix that ya know? you're not wrong thats just not all the possibilities

@Donultimite I stopped caring like 5 hours ago. The fact that you accuse me of being jealous is truly pathetic.

@DBBurningBlast

Oh, I'm sorry you can't say "Oh, TY" like I do when something like this happens. This shows one thing-JEALOUS
