Since my trusty Windows had to be reformatted, I've lost my highly illegal copy of Photoshop, so if one of ya'll want to pretty this picture up, make it a jpeg, and get rid of the Motor Trend tag and stuff, go ahead. And post it up so we can see!

EDIT: try this:http://files.filefront.com//;6142836;;/

anyone else have a site that handles 3.75 mb pics?

I've made it in different styles, don't know if you'll like it though :D



If you want me to clean it up so that the cars will look :eek: , then you'll have to wait a couple of days :lol:

Could i have the wallpaper to that please??...:D
 
Hey, those look pretty good, Ultrashot. The first one is pretty much what I would have done--contrast and saturation and all that. The other two are different than what I usually do, and they look good. I chose the last one, but I noticed something I hadn't before: Motor Trend made them 1280x1024!? Who uses that resolution, seriously? Oh well, no biggie. Thank you.
 
Well that's ridiculous. For that reason I still hate most LCD monitors and really want a widescreen laptop. 16:9, no more, no less. Either that or a true 4:3, as in 1024x768 and 1280x960 and 1600x1200. 1280x1024 is that gay 5:4 stuff that engineers need to forget about.

Funnily enough, 1280x960 isn't mentioned in this chart. Weird. I tihnkn I just got touche'd. Ah, well. It does have 16:10, which is seriously annoying. And 25x16!? Insane and unacceptable.

EDIT: Okay, I just realized that my Top Gear wallpapers look funny on my screen. Squished. Come to find out, they're 1280x1024. And I always thought they were 960 tall. Some are x960, like the ones from DieselStation. That article up there probably says why, but why can't they just stick with two, 4:3 and 16:9 for computers? And why do you Mac guys always have to be right?

Would you like some more noob sauce, perhaps?
 
Baaahhh!!!!


EDIT: My phone am pumps out some sick 1280x960 res pics, too. Hah, so you guys can't take a phone pic and make it your wallpaper without having stupid borders or whatever.

Just let me know if you need anything done bud ;)


BTW: I'm using 1024X760 on my laptop and 1600X1280 or something on my 19", but what's wrong with 1280X1024? I haven't heard about it alot but it doesn't seem any weird to me...
