I wish there were some car images out there that would fully fit my 1200x1920-pixel resolution setting without stretching. Of the new Zonda R pics, the only ones that look decent are those that are surrounded in black and when they are centered.

You have quite a few options to prevent that.

For one, you can always crop an image so that it has the exact same aspect ratio as your 1920x1200 screen, which has an aspect ratio of 1.6.

For instance, with a 1280x1024 image, all you would have to do is crop out 112 horizontal lines at the top as well as the bottom, which would result in a 1280x800 image which has the same aspect ratio as your 1920x1200 display.

If cropping might cut out part of the image you want to see, then you can scale down the part of the image you do want to see, and then crop to match the aspect ratio.

In fact, iMotors offers the exact same images of the Pagani Zonda R in 1280x800 resolution, so they have already done the resizing of the car and croped it for use with 1.6 aspect ratio screens, like a 1920x1200 display.

You can also add additional vertical lines to the image to match the aspect ratio, and then scale it to match 1920x1200.

If you do not want to scale images, you can also simply create a 1920x1200 image canvas, then copy the pic you want to use in that canvas, and then fill in the extra space with what ever you like or whatever might go well with the image. Matching the image background is easy to do, or you could create a boarder/frame of some kind.

Using any of these techniques you will prevent images from being stretched when used as desktop wallpaper on your 1920x1200 display. 👍

Some photos of the sexy cars I took some pics with a while back..

Murcielago, 360 Modena Stradale, and 911 AWD with over 700hp!! and oh yeah E46 M3 along with my prelude ;-)

Riding in that 911 was something else .. i've been in a supra with 750 hp but launching in that AWD 911 was crazy...!!

 

[McLaren]

If the sticker really does portray to what's in the car, then of course that 911 will launch. SharkWerks does some amazing stuff.

 

[AlexLude]

Yup i shoulda said.. that was Alex Sharky's 911... he was there and smoked the Ferrari and Murci

 

[McLaren]

That's Alex's car? I've seen him on 6Speed, but I didn't know what his personal ride looked like.

 

[AlexLude]

probably one of his cars.. i think he has a white 997 TT for his daily...

 

[TheCracker]

Is that an auto box (tiptronic) in that 911?

Normally, I don't like late '70s-early '80s Ferraris.

However, that one intrigues me.

 

[Digital-Nitrate]

Stunning... and I'm not usually a fan of flat black finishes. Do you have a higher rez shot of that car?

The Ferrari 512 BB was the second car poster I got when I was a kid, the first was for a Countach LP500... followed later by a poster of a Porsche 959... memories...

[Nicksfix]

Oh yes , thats an encore. very nice 👍

 

[Digital-Nitrate]

Those wheels are such a perfect match for that car! I especially like how they compliment those exhaust covers, and the hints of red are simply brilliant! 👍

So what's the 411 on that GT? Who did the work, and is it for sale?

 

[McLaren]

It would be the Gemballa Mirage GT. They are available as an upgrade to anyone's Carrera GT, but I believe the costs are around that of a Carrera GT itself.

That flat black one resides in Monte Carlo and is sometimes part of Gemballa's display at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.

 

[AlexLude]

That Carrera GT is just tooo SICKKK!!

 

[Mad94d]

All Gembala's are awesome looking cars. Nice pic's:tup:

 

[Digital-Nitrate]

Thanks for the info Reventon. 👍

 

[stumpydino]

just continuing the porsche love

 

[DaddyVDUB]

One Word...SMOOTH!!

 

[homeforsummer]

Somebody around where I live has a Gemballa Cayenne. Really have to get a picture of it at some point. It's pig ugly but just about the most badass car I've ever seen. It looks like it would run you over for fun, then reverse over your mangled body again just for kicks. And then eat your liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti...

 

[boiltheocean]

I remember seeing the Gembella Cayenne at MPH 08. It's so ugly I could have thrown up over it but you weren't allowed to touch the car.

I'd take this anyday. The best out of your pics Rue.

 

[Glanza-V]

Wait did i start this posrche thing :S

 

[Beerz]

Nope.
