[FONT=Times] Hi, can anyone tell me what the rules are on making wallpapers with pictures you find on the internet? Is there some copyright rule that dictates whether a person can use selected images off personal pages in original work? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks! ^_^:

[Manda da Panda]

hey can any one tell me how to resize an image??

[akachan]

copyright issues:eh..is it a problem..I've started to write on the bottom of the wall(so it is covered by the bar) the name of the series and the author, example:
ranma1/2©rumiko takahashi
and then I write:
wallpaper created by akachan.. .
on my website I've wrote that the walls are for no-profit use...
once upon a time there was a topic on this forum about it, tell me if you 've found it.

how to resize an image:depends from the program that u're using, anyway in the tools bar there should be a tool for resizing(usually is an arrow) just click on it and move the corners holding the mouse

[Hansha]

Thanks Akachan, I think I'll try that then

hi, does anyone know how to resize the image without quality loss?

[Gjallarhorn]

it all depends on the program ur using. for instance, if ur using paint and enlarge an image, it will come out bad quality, but if u try something like PaintShopPro, Photoshop, or PhotoDraw, it will come out in good quality. it could also depend on the quality of the image, like if u zoom in and see all sorts of scattered pixels, they will show up more when u resize the image.

[Kimagure]

i know, i use photoshop to make wallpapers. when i saw some fullmetal alchemist wallpapers, i was surprised to see that the final outcome came out perfect. like, i have one pic of edward in about 400x285, and when i resize them i always get them blurry and use sharpen-unsharpen mask but you can see the unnecessary pixels. but from a wallpaper i saw, it was 1048x768 and looked just as good as the 400x285. does anyone know how they did that?

Hm, try with IrfanView, it's pretty good for enlarging images And it's free.

[MistressPookyChan]

when you increase the size of an image using photoshop or PSP, don't increase the size all at once; go a little bit at a time. This will help make the image more clear and keep the color.

[WeyrDragon]

anyone ever get one of those pictures where its really nice, but you dont know exactly what do do to make it work in a paper? ive got one that just... well i cant find a good backround for it.

[DDR Pip]

Ok, I'm really tired of having to dodge spam and porn sites when looking for anime pics. Can someone just tell me where I can find some good, useful sites? After my last search, I don't think I'll never use a search engine again h34r: h34r: h34r: !

Anyway, see this pined topic ^_^ http://www.animeglobe.com/ubb/index.php?showtopic=99

[DDR Pip]

Ok, just because I'm really mad right now I gotta say what happened. I spent all day today extracting my first pic ever. It was a long and tough extraction, and I was saving every 5-10 minutes. Finally, I finished, saved, and closed down photoshop. I later came back to find that my image quality had been redused from 110kb to 14kb. I wondered how the heck this horrible event could have happened to me with as cautious as I took my first extraction. Then I realized I had saved still zoomed in 1600x. Now, at first glance this doesn't seem like it would pose a problem, but I tested this with a random image by saving zoomed in and again the quality was reduced to nothing! I am sorry if this is OT, but I had to post telling people don't save zoomed in :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: .

BTW, how fast can you guys extract? Mine didn't come out great like I've seen on some of the wp and it took me all day.

Patience and a lot of restarts are your answer there. It takes time to get it right. Hell there are some walls that are out there that are awesome as hell, but have crappy extractions. Look around, you'll see what I'm talking about. You say you're using Photoshop? A little secret for ya. Use the polygon lasso tool. It takes a bit longer, but the end results will be outstanding. Oh and also, it doesn't matter what you save it as, zoomed in or out, the program SHOULD save it at it's original size no matter what. Good luck in the future.

[DDR Pip]

Yeah, I actually just saved another random image (no changes, not even in zoom) and it lowered the quality on that too, so sorry about all the venting. I think it's because of where I saved it. I'll try the lasso though.

Edit: I DIDN'T SAVE IT AS A JPEG FILE!!!! At least I know now how to not work photoshop :angry: ....

[DDR Pip]

Another question. If you have a low quality image, is there anyway to make it look like its not so low quality?

[Gjallarhorn]

it doesnt help alot, but smart-blur can help, and also messeing around with brightness and contrast can help as well.

[escaflownemoon]

Or you may have to recolour it on your own to get rid of the graininess and low quality if its really bad that smart blur can't hide the problem.
