| This tutorial
will take you through a few simple steps to show
you how to fill the background layer in the finished
"FilmStrip image" with a background image of your choice.
Step 1
Follow the instructions in the documentation found in the
distribution file.
(All original distribution files contains a documentation
file telling you how to use the action)
If you used the FilmStrip [Perspective] action you should have an
image looking something like this:

Step 2
Crop the image to using the Crop Tool (Ctrl + c). It is not
necessary to crop the image, but you really don't need all the
"space" around the negative. Here's my cropped image:

If you flatten the "FilmStrip image" the background on
that picture would be white, and it would look good only on a web
page that has a white background.
Step 3
Resize your image to the size that it is going to have on
your web page. If you add a background image to your picture before
you scale it. The background will differ from the original
background image.
Step 4
Ok, let's say that you have a web page with this background image:

Open this image in Photoshop and choose Select > All
(Ctrl + A). Now choose Edit > Define Pattern. Close
the image.
Step 5
Go back to the "FilmStrip image" and make sure
that the Background Layer is active in the layers palette:

Choose Edit > Fill and choose to fill using
Pattern. Flatten the image by choosing Layer > Flatten
Image.
PS!
In order to work with the background layer in Photoshop 7.0+ you
have to double click on the layer and give it a new name (or simply
clik OK in the dialog box that appears)
Here is the finished image:
