How to make my own custom photo album background from scanned image?

Question

I know how to use the custom backgrounds within photoshop elements 5.0 but I would like to create my own. I have scanned a map of Big Bend National Park that I used as a DVD title menu and would like to make a photo album and use the same scanned map as the backgroud for all pages. Is that doable in elements 5.0? Can I just add the scanned image into the custom folders somehow?

Answer 1

My thought is to create a single thread, and within
that thread continually pull from a static array
casting each to an EventObject type. But I am confused
also as to how to dispatch the events to their
appropriate listeners.This is commonly known as a ProducerConsumerQueue: you have multiple sources of events, and multiple consumers for those events. The queue mediates between producers and consumers.
In the case of an event thread, the queue runs in one thread, and all the producers run in other threads. In the case of the Swing/AWT event thread, the producer is the GUI code in the JVM, which receives OS-level (considering X an OS for the moment!) window events and then puts them on the queue, associated with the correct object.
You'll find a LinkedList a better choice for the queue than a static array, as it can grow or shrink without bounds. The consumer side calls removeFirst(); if nothing's in the List, it calls wait(). The producer side calls addLast(), followed by notify(). Needless to say, you'll need synchronization, but you don't want to synchronize your listeners ... that's a fun problem that's left for the reader.
The various listener lists can be maintained with Maps, where the event object is used to lookup a list of listeners. In a GUI environment, the event object has to maintain the source as well as the event object; in a non-GUI environment, it typically only holds the event type.
