This is a handy-dandy PSD for creating HD menu backgrounds for mods for the 25th anniversary of Half-Life 1, along with two example backgrounds for Opposing Force and Blue Shift. These background examples were poorly hacked together with assorted algorithms (upscaling, extending etc.) and I make no claim as to their quality - they're passable at best and I fully encourage actual artists to do better versions!

Instructions on how to use the PSD are in a layer that should be visible upon opening.

If you come up with a better way to do this (especially if it doesn't rely on juggling two specific apps), by all means, please release it and let me (and the rest of the planet) know!

Cheers,
