Great work. Very useful. Thanks!
Sizing/cropping wallpapers is a pain. There should be a program where we load the image and it would resize and we adjust only.

VSConcepts In reply to Miguel-Santos [2013-05-16 04:26:20 +0000 UTC]

Cropping would probably work better, unless your work was already made in a specific ratio, otherwise - if the software would end up warping the contents to change the dimensions of the piece to fit the size scale selected.

Photoshop can resize images with ease.

Miguel-Santos In reply to VSConcepts [2013-05-16 04:46:40 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it would have to be a balance between resizing for various resolutions and cropping to adjust ratio, without ever warping. A PS plugin would be nice.

Better yet, a Muro tool!

Interesting idea. I've never even used Muro, not sure what it's capable of.

And how about dual screen resolutions? ;D hahaha. There are not enough dual monitor wallpapers.

VSConcepts In reply to gillianivyart [2013-05-10 23:31:55 +0000 UTC]

heh. I agree. I didn't wanna get too complicated though. Multi-Display is a whole other world. I'll get to that in the next Tut.

one addendum: Wallpapers ARE NOT STOCK..... so don't use them in YOUR manipulations. Giving credit does not make it right.
