HowItIs Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I've been trying for two days to find a good wallpaper creator program. I tried Wallpaper Maker Lite and Picasa but they don't do what I want. I wish to make collage-style wallpaper and multiple picture wallpaper. Any leads? Thanks in advance.

CMWriter Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) There's no substitute for good ol'-fashioned... sitting on your butt for two hours, slaving away at Adobe Photoshop. Not sure exactly what you need but this website (Photovisi) seems to have several options for wallpaper templates. It doesn't require any download as far as I can see, maybe registration for some of the templates.. Looks like it's just drag-and-drop from your photo files and hit "download" and it'll give you a JPG (or PNG, I'm not sure... but I'm willing to bet it'd give you a JPG).

HowItIs Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks, CM. I'll give that a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceTen Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 http://gimp.org Not sure if that's what you're looking for. But, it's very similar to Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to check that site out for my lazy days. (I want to make another LOL Rush Wallpaper because I've run across some good photos.)

(No, I did not shamelessly advertise my pitiful attempt at a collage wallpaper. Why would I do that?) Ah yes, my secret is revealed! I'm sure I could still do it the photoshop way but that would be waaay too tedious and annoying and I'd probably want to throw my computer out the window. This site makes it 10x easier because the pictures are precut...it can still be a bit tedious especially when I have to figure out what photos to use and rearrange and such but it takes out that extra step. Glad you like my work I really like your collage btw! (Where did you get the picture of Ged leaning against Alex and his feet propped on Neil? Thats a cute one ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got probably 90% of those picture from TRF, mainly from the "Rush Captions" thread. The others I found in various albums around teh internetz and just through Google Images. Thats cools but if you happen to come across it, let me know! HowItIs, love you collage! Very good for a first try. That site is amazing once you get a handle on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have Photoshop or something similar, it's just a matter of trimming away the excess on the image and reducing the opacity of the layer. It's actually a lot of fun once you get a handle on all the tools and can remember where to find everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
