I completed the tutorial and think i understand how most things work. I made the background for the tutorial in paint, and it worked fine, but when i used photoshop to make a better looking background, the background-screen is black. The resolution is 640x400 and the colour is 16-bit both on the pic and in the game so i can't figure out why it isn't working.

Have you opened the correct room in the editor?
Have you reloaded the background image?
What format are you using for the image? It's difficult to make a 16 bit (rather than 32 bit) image in Photoshop.
Its strange but I had the same problem the other day, when tryinf to load in a background in my 32 bit 640*480 game the scrren where the background should be went kind of purple.
I think it was because MY PC didn't have enough memory at that moment, so i restarted and tried again and it worked :P
So try that, if not try changing the game to 32 bit and see if it works.

If you are trying to import a 16bit bitmap it wouldn't work. Save it as 24bit bitmap instead.
