Personalization – that’s the mantra for anyone who is too attached to his computer. Some take it to the extreme of case mods but for us pedestrians, using a theme or changing the wallpaper is as far as we dare to spice it up. But even here with a bit of design savvy we can make a graphic statement.
Dressing up our screens with quality custom wallpapers gets the oohs, aahs and the stares. Memories come in pixels and custom wallpapers are just a cool simple way to put it on the screen. Perhaps you need not look any further than your last vacation trip or the captured moments spent frolicking with your kids for some wallpaper design inspiration. You can even put some motivational quotes or a GTD list on a dark background.

Creating custom desktop wallpapers for your computer is actually a breeze. Though, a better than basic familiarity with an imaging program like Photoshop, Paint.net or GIMP really helps. Stripped to the basics, it’s a 1-2-3 process.

Step 1: Find your screen resolution

The size of the image needs to match the size of the desktop so that the image does not stretch or tile across. Finding this figure (the screen resolution) is dead easy.
Right-click on any blank area on your desktop and select Properties from the context menu.
Click the Settings tab on the Display Properties box. Note the screen resolution in pixels.

Step 2: Get Your Image

A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed ““ Ansel Adams.
If you have such an image in your pictures folder then you have your wallpaper. But why only a snapshot? It could be a stock photo, a collage, a funky gradient or some text on a background. But there are always these rules of thumb to consider.
For the crystal clear look, use high quality, high resolution photos. For best results, shoot images with resolutions more than that of the monitor (or use stock photos with the same or greater resolution).
Avoid pictures with image artifacts and blurs. Artifacts are the uneven patches of color here and there in images.

Step 3: Match image proportions to screen resolution

Fire up the image editor. We need to use resize the image to match the screen resolution. Usually, the commands we need to resize an image can be found under the Image menu. For instance ““
In Photoshop: Image ““ Image Size
In GIMP: Image ““ Scale Image (use the chain icon)
In Paint.net: Image ““ Resize ““ check Maintain Aspect Ratio
In IrfanView: Image ““ Resize/Resample – check Preserve Aspect Ratio
Image editors generally have a setting called ““ Constrain Proportions or Preserve Aspect Ratio. This keeps the width and height proportional as we change sizes. Not using this setting results in a distorted image as one dimension changes without a mirror change in the other. ‘Squished’ is the word designers’ use.
