I've not used PhotoShop, but a nice freebie that's easy to use is PhotoFiltre. Esp. if you just want to crop an image because resizing won't work well with aspect ratio. PhotoFiltre has a menu item where you can specify the origin and the numbers for the crop. It can save a lot of headache trying to crop manually with the mouse until you happen to get it exactly right.

I know something larger than the screen you can just have the wallpaper set with Center but I've noticed Windows doesn't always like it when the wallpaper doesn't fit. Not so bad in newer flavors maybe but it probably uses less memory and gets rid of any lag if the wallpaper is the exact size of the screen res you are using.

Either that or it's just an old habit from Win98 days. :)

I would love to have a nice earth wallpaper with say something entering the earths atmosphere might sound kinda strange but an amazing sight, or a toy story wallpaper with woody buzz and a few others :) would be well grateful if something could be done, my res is 1600x900

You want a specific wallpaper? A dark one, a light one, or a colorful one? One with text or one without? Then I'll try to make one on your request.

Edit: TheBull is now in on this project

So make your request's and we will try to make some bad ass wall's for ya

I've tried to recreate a desktop wallpaper which looks just like the background in this one (without the transformer), but haven't been very successful. I guess I lack the right software. I like how it's very 3-dish. I'd like it high-res. Anyone up for the challenge?

A nice attempt, Valor D ! But it is a bit grainy.
If you ask for a challenge, I can say that I dont have a idea about 3D

lol no, I didn't make that. It's a screen capture from the original Transformers: The Movie, circa 1986. I know that it's grainy, because it was resized from a smaller pic, and the lines don't even intersect right. That's why I'd like to have it re-created, only without Galvatron in the pic. :)

Something like Arc did awhile ago on the other thread. Hope you don't mind, pal. But this time with a car.

P.S : Anyone knows what brand & make of this car is?
