Wasn't sure where to put this topic. I've been looking for ages for a nice wallpaper with either of these cars (mentioned in the title). My screen is a widescreen, 1280 x 768 pixels and any picture i try to use comes out stretched out, and deformed. I've tried using photoshop to change the size but with no luck.

I am asking for a favor from anyone, to make me a wallpaper from a picture of either of those cars that will fit my screen. If anyone uses the Cobra, my preference is blue and white. I don't want to be picky though.

Thanks a lot for anyone that helps out.

That is an odd res. I havnt seen many wallpapers at that res. 1280x1024 is more popular.

Try that res and look here: http://www.dieselstation.com/m ... elstation-wallpapers.html

Hey thanks for the website but i've tried 1280 x 1024 and the wallpaper still comes out distorted. I know mine is an odd resolution . I would be so grateful if someone could figure out how to make a 1280 x 768 wallpaper lol.

What's to figure out? Crop an image to the right size.

What about resizing in Photochop or ACDSee? You got your wallpaper set to "stretch" or "center"?
I dunno, just throwing things out there

I've tried cropping and resizing but everything i do turns out distorted or overly streched. I've tried both the stretch and center wallpaper options but none seem to work. As you can see, this is why i am getting frustrated. Making a wallpaper is not complicated and i don't see why i can't solve this simple problem.

The only way a cropped image will be distorted is if you distort it. If you set an image to "center" in the desktop options, it will not be distorted.

Sounds simple enough to me

Believe me, i am not one to ask for help with this sort of thing as i don't normally like to give up. Usually i will go through everything before even thinking "i can't". I don't know what the problem is.

Have you tried taking a 1280x1024 wallpaper and set it to center yet? Only helps when the car itself is in the center of the picture though...

Yup, then the image turns out stretched sideways...I know that doesn't make any sense because if anything, it should stretch long ways. You can see why i'm having trouble now lol.

Here's the deal:

If you have a 1280x768 resolution, and you use a wallpaper that is 1280x1024, and set it to center when you choose it, it will NOT distort it, you will just lose the top and bottom.

Center does not distort the picture at all.

If it is distorted, you are doing something wrong.

I'm starting to think that your odd desktop resolution is wrong for your monitor. It might have to be 1280x1024 and you have it set wrong, which is distorting the picture. That's about the only explanation I can come up with.

its the default res. It's a widescreen monitor and the only available resolutions are..1280 x 768, 1280 x 720, 1280 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600.

I will try 1280 x 1024 resolution again and see if i stiill get the same problem.

it is not working =/. whatever, i'm giving up for now

i got a e30 m3 pic if you want it , it shows the car + motor

Are you sure it's 1280x768? thats a 16:9 widescreen resolution. Widescreen computer displays are usually 16:10, wich would be 1280x800.
