Do you stretch, tile or center your wallpaper/background...?

Question

when the picture you want is too small?
I usually center it, I almost never stretch because it really looks bad (especially since I have a wide screen monitor)

Yeah, I know I can use photoshop (or The Gimp, since I'm on Linux) to edit it, I know how to tile it for a bunch of little ones, I'm just curious as to what other people do, which is why this is in Polls section. :-D Thanks for everyones answer though!

Answer 1

I either center it or depending on the picture you started with sometimes I move it to Photoshop and enlarge the picture first then center it on the background. - Good Luck!

Answer 2

If you don't have a good quality pic that is large enough then you'll have to tile it to see lots of little ones. If you can find a bigger pic and have Photoshop or the like, increase the image size and resolution to fit your screen.

Most people download the thumbnail pics off the internet, not realizing it's better to save the original pic from the website or such. If your pic is way small like a thumbnail, try finding the original pic and save the larger one.

Answer 3

If you have Photoshop, scale the picture to an appropriate size there. it will look a lot better than the Windows stretch algorithm.

Answer 4

once you locate the picture you desire, click on the right hand area of the mouse for houses and click on that to be certain its dimensions or maybe if it really is jpg, jpeg, even if. keep the picture into your My pictures folder and then it would nicely be transferred on on your 360 web page. the better the figures for the dimensions, the bigger the picture will seem on the web page.
