Step 4.

"Click Move Tool" and drag and drop your photo to the image you have downloaded.

Step 5.

Change the opacity to 40% so that you can still see through to the background. Arrange your photo carefully then put back the opacity to 100%. Save it and upload it as your cover photo.

Step 6.

Change back the opacity to 40%. Click the Rectangular Marquee tool and put a marquee to your profile picture.

Step 7.

Press Ctrl C to copy the image inside the marquee and then click "File" --> "New" (width and height will automatically set to 170 pixels if you marquee the image correctly).

Step 8.

Click OK and press Ctrl V to paste the image.

Step 9.

Re-size the image to 180 pixels wide and 180 pixels tall and press OK.
