How do you make desktop wallpapers?

Post by Caboose »

I'm using adobe photoshop CS and I'd like to learn how to make desktop wallpapers. Google brought me nothing but sites with downloadable wallpapers :(

Thanks in advance,

Caboose.

umm

I don't really understand the question. You make an image of the size you want. Windows can use any image format, right? I don't think there's anything special you need to take into consideration.

What are you looking for in particular?

Well.. you should have it in the right aspect ratio. That would be 1/3.
