I'm having a widescreen TFT with a resolution of 1440x900. I have a sony cybershot camera and i want to make good wallpapers of this resolution to fit my screen,but i cant it stretches beyond or crops updown. Is there any software which can genuienly do the trick as i tried many softwares who promise doing this but stretch the image by compressing height of the image,it looks ugly.
What softwares do skins.be site use to make walls of different resolutions any guess??????
Nice work
Help me guys.

You need to either resize your pictures to 1440x900 (a ratio of 1.6:1) which will probably still distort your pictures if you don't adjust first, or you should crop your pictures to a rectangle with 1.6:1 proportions. OR BOTH! (That's even better).

If your pictures are at some non-stretched view (typically 4:3 which is a 1.33:1 ratio) and you make it fit to a wide-screen format, then of course it is going to distort.
And if it is bigger than the screen, and you don't tell it to stretch (adjust), of course it will "crop" your oversize image to just your viewing dimensions. (Actually the extra pixels are outside the viewing area.)

So, use a tool like IrfanView, and there are many others too, then learn to make the images you want a 1.6:1 ratio. It is not hard.

As for websites that actually have pre-sized pictures at 1440x900 (or other common sizes) sure, there are many, just Google for wallpapers.

By the way, you do not actually need 1440x900 images to have them display non-distorted. The images just need to be that 1.6:1 ratio, such as 2560x1600, or 1920x1200, 1680x1050, or 1280x800.

One great website is interfacelift.com

I've been taking some panoramas with my new camera (of the city) and they are great until I put them on my monitor which isn't wide screen. I can deal with the space above and below but check out this website for every resolution known to man.
