Wallpaper isn't good!

[BeyLIN]

Look my resolution is 1280 X 1024
and the wallpaper I downloaded is larger...

But when I right click it and set it as my wallpaper, it's in the middle with black tips.

And the I use "Fill" it makes the wallpaper with bad quality.
What am I suppost to do?

Do you make sure that you download the correct resolution photo from the place you are getting your wallpaper?

 

[BeyLIN]

Yes
I checked on XP and it's fine.

Hiya pal

Could you post a link to the image?
It's possible that we could resize it to your requirements without loosing to much quality

Maybe try "Fit" instead of "Fill". If that doesn't work, then as PooMan suggested, link us to it, and one of us can surely manage to re-size it.

Have you tried just opening it up in paint and resizing it? If you're resizing from larger to smaller, then you shouldn't lose much quality at all.

Thats one doesn't look too good on my screen Definitely not an High Def wallpaper (my res is 1366x768)

This came up for me as 1600x1000. You're looking for 1,280x1,024. So I tried to re-size it for you, with two different programs.

Keep in mind, I am not one of the graphics experts here on the site....and I just woke up and haven't had my coffee yet.....but anyways, here is my attempt.

Hmm .... I think my desktop is cool Thanks for sharing, Randy

Cool desktop

My guess is he re-sized with photoshop.

Try googling "Image Resizers" if ya can't find a good one i'll post back what i found.

 

[blackroseMD1]

You can always use paint to resize. Just right click on the image you want to resize and choose Edit. Once paint opens up, just click resize and you can resize by either percentage or pixels.

 

[Nem]

Yeah but with paint you can only re-size it so much it becomes distorted, yeah?

Have a looky here pal FastStone
Nice and easy to use and it's free

If you are sizing up, then yeah...haven't ever had that issue sizing down. I really only use paint to resize if I'm in a hurry though. Most of the time I use PS CS5. Just throwing paint out there as a fast, free alternative.

I used Irfanview for one of them, and Photoshop CS4 for the other.

You guessed correctly! But it took me 3 times as long as it did with Irfanview.....lol.

 

[Nem]

It's all good lol as-long it done that what counts right. ..But 3 times? i've never had any problems re-sizing with PS.. may i ask what you were doing lol..just curious
