Boy, do I love this job. Playing with cool tools is fun work! Recently I came across Background Magic which does some pretty unique things. It creates:

	Buttons and banners
	Email stationery
	Quality backgrounds
	Left border style backgrounds

Now while it is true you can create these types of graphics witrh virtually any graphics package, I doubt you can create them as easily as you can with Background Magic! Just watch.

Step One:

Drag and drop two different graphic tiles from the catalog and they instantly combine to a create a new tile background.

Step Two:

Click the Borders button and your new tile is previewed as a left border (with a shadow if you like) on a web page.

If you don't like the way it looks, you can edit it quickly and easily. There's an eye dropper tool that allows you to grab samples of colors from the tile and drop them on the white web page to make it a complementary color. You can use the slider controls to change the width of the border and the depth of the shadow. You can also apply any of eight additional effects including emboss, erode, invert, and much more.

This type of stuff used to take hours, and you needed a variety of complex graphic tools and some decent artistic and HTML ability. With Background Magic the creation process is now in the palm of your hands.

You can also use this tool to create blank buttons and banners, email stationery, wall paper, or Explorer skins just as easily. You would expect a multi-purpose, powerful tool like this one would cost an arm and a leg, but guess what? It's free. That's right, you can download a free version at Background Magic right now.
