  7. Paste (CTRL+L) your selection (1x4 image) as a new layer to your background image (540x1600)
Additionally you can decorate your image with any greyscale photos, or create any colorful header to the top (use area of 113 px high on top for your header, colors used there doesn't affect to the text color).
