prophetik music Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 i'm assuming this is a related topic since it's about computers, if not, well, whatever. i use two monitors on my primary system - a 1920x1200 and a 1050x1680 (22" monitor turned vertical). there are NO good desktop images with the 1050x1680 image size. i've used the custom search in google images and just get jack. half the results either aren't the right size or are completely unrelated. like, i search "nature", and most of the images are celebrities. sigh. i know people use this, it's just that there's nothing out there, and vertical wallpaper dot com hasn't been updated in years. anyone got any good vertical wallpaper, or some good images that can be cropped to look good vertical?

Rozovian Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Get some generated fractals, rotate them 90°. Or just crop a huge image. Silly how the vertical picture orientation is called portrait. iirc anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Silly how the vertical picture orientation is called portrait. iirc anyway. why I would think that a portrait of a person would generally be in a vertical orientation and a picture of a landscape would generally be in a horizontal orientation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiwalker Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 You could crop this up: http://www.spaceweather.com/aurora/images2010/04apr10/Frank-Olsen1.jpg I have the aurora as my background and it is quite calming and cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwaltzvald Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 What kind of images are you looking for? Also you could always look at 4chan's /wg/ section for a nice variety... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 whyI would think that a portrait of a person would generally be in a vertical orientation and a picture of a landscape would generally be in a horizontal orientation It gets silly when you've got a portrait in horizontal orientation, or a landscape in vertical. Horizontal and vertical would be a lot better. But it's not like they foresaw internet image searches when this became standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prophetik music Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 rozo, i prefer pictures of the world over that computer-generated stuff. mountains, skyscrapers, etc. http://controltheweb.blogspot.com/2007/12/large-background-desktop-wallpaper-for.html i've actually found these exact same ones at multiple sites. they're all cut down from stuff found at deviantart and interfacelift and other sites. none are actually originally that size.

prophetik music Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 now you're just being picky naw, those images were where someone took a 1920x1200 picture, chopped the outsides of it so it was 750x1200, and then stretched it. i just want a picture that's the proper size =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Oh, so they were upscaled. Yeah, that's unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
