How do people put the transparent lines on a Facebook cover photo?

[Charlotte-Louise]

Okay, so I make cover photos on Facebook and I've seen these lines in a few places but I don't know how to do them.

Here's an example: http://www.facebook.com/JustBeingAWildTeen
The blue/green and black lines are faded.
Does anyone know what software/website you use to do them?

Thanks in advance!

There are many ways to get that effect.simply it can be done using layers and transparency in photoshop.

You could do this in most decent graphics editors. Just make a new layer at the top of the image, use the rectangular select tool to select a horizontal line/rectangle, fill it with a colour and then reduce the opacity of the layer (reducing opacity makes it see-through). This will make a line that is slightly translucent.

Note: On some editors, you will have to increase the transparency instead of reducing the opacity.

I feel like Facebook I's becoming myspace again -_- with these stupid cover photos.
