yeah so I recently started with photoshop. I'm having a couple of questions, and please dear users don't throw thousands of photoshop speech in my face

1
I've made a simple background (clouds) and would like a picture of terminator applied.
Picture/border ~ http://www.ucandaire.org/imaj/Radyocu/terminator-4.jpg
Problem is, when I open this how do I cut this to the so-called render? Will I use the wand or what?

2
How can I add several colours (example, black in the middle & orange to the sides) & make it look sort of like molten together? you know, they go into together etc. which tool will I use? I'll try to add an example if this ain't discripted properly.

Maybe i'll add more questions

i think you use the gradient tool except i dont know how to decide the colors..

Gradient tool?

There are several ways to do this.

The pen tool, polygonal lasso tool, magic eraser and magic wand(depending if the background is one color), the extract tool, and many others. I suggest you learn how to use the pen tool as it is best choice of them all. You can find tutorials by searching google for them.

#2: explain to me via pm.
