Dear wp making anon's,

How do I go about resizing a wallpaper into something bigger or smaller? Like..say you wanted to resize wallpaper that's 800x600 to 1280x768, etc.

I'm pretty new to CS3/wallpaper making in general, and I have a collection of 800x600's that I'd love to resize to fit my screen. :(

In return, something pretty!

A friend recommended that I use Genuine Fractals as a plugin to photoshop to do the resizing

For downscaling you just resize and/or crop. For upscaling, you need a bit more talent. If you're upscaling by only 100 pixels or so then you can resize it and tweak the sharpness a little. If you're upscaling more than 100 pixels this will make your image look like crap.

If the image is simple enough you can learn to vector trace. With a vector you can upscaling it as big as you want but it only works well with simple images. Otherwise your only option is to ask for a source and hope that you 800x600s were downscaled from a larger image that someone has.
