There are heaps of beautiful wallpaper designs available on the
web, many of them are the work of some very clever and
imaginative digital artists.
But when it comes to photo wallpaper, even though the choice is
still huge, the vast majority of images cover your desktop with
a beautiful image, only for you to then go and clutter up the
image with all your desktop icons.
If, like me you frequently drop useful shortcuts on the desktop
whilst you are surfing, or you like to organise your work space
with all your favourite and most often used program icons easily
to hand, you are likely to end up with the effect of that
stunning landscape photo completely destroyed with a messy
colection of shortcuts which you can't see very well because
they are lost against the backgrond image.
Start your photo editing program and locate and open your chosen
photograph file. What size (in pixels) is the image? Look at the
file info, or the status bar, or image heading, of your editing
program to find this. For the purpose of this excercise we'll
assume that your PC desktop is set at a resolution (screen size)
of 1024 x 768, which is probably the most common choice at the
moment. (To change the size of your desktop/screen resolution:
right click on your desktop - choose properties - then the
"settings" tab, which will present you with the available size
choices for your monitor).
