I would like 2 pictures resized but...

Post by Anakha56 »

Okay this is going to be a tough one for me to explain.

I have 2 images that I would like to resize down so that the whole image displays on my phone as a background. However when I try to resize the only the top half of the picture is showing :(. If someone could please help to understand what I need to do to get it to resize properly. I am using the poor mans photoshop (GIMP) to do my resizing. Will upload 5 files, first one is the size I would like the image, second and third will be the images I want to resize and the fourth will be an image showing what is happening to my background and the 5th will be a direct resize attempt that failed and does not look great due to squish effect.

So um what am i doing wrong? And what do I need to keep in mind when resizing to get the best result? Oh and please use small words so I can keep up :P :lol:.

Firstly, what is the display resolution of your phone, Einstein :?:
It seems to be 480x640 so I have resized the pics to those dimensions.
See if these look any better.... I had to crop the second one a bit, so sue me.

Anakha, those are incredible... do you have artists for them?
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Thats odd. jamin your attempt at resizing also did not work. I am still getting the problem in the 4th pic.

Screen Res as from GSM Arena: 480 x 640 pixels, 2.8 inches. If I use the first image it displays correctly on the phone.

Touch Diamond and I am trying out SPB Mobile Shell, it seems a hell of a lot better than the standard interface from HTC.

I believe it must be something on your phone, tested the same wallpaper on my Touch Pro and it displays just fine. I'm using the normal 3dFlo that came with it.
