How do I create wallpapers
Hey guys. So I couldn't really find a tutorial on this but I'd like to know how to create my own high quality wallpapers. I've only got iPhoto to really work with, and I hope that'll be enough. What dimensions do the pictures have to be to work on the iPhone? Anything else I might need to know? If anyone could help that'd be awesome! Thanks

First off, you'll need to download GIMP. It's like a free Photoshop for the Mac. Note that it needs X11 to run; just Spotlight X11 to see if you have it.
Now open the image you wish to use as the wallpaper in GIMP. In the window the image is in, there is a menubar. In it, click 'Image'. Then click 'Scale Image'. In the new window, make sure that you have Pixels selected in the dropdown menu. Then in the top field, input 320. In the bottom field, input 480. Click OK or Scale. Save your image and sync it to the iPhone. - John

I spotlight(ed?) X11 and a bunch of stuff came up but no official program so I dont think I have it. I have a MacBook Pro if that helps. So if I don't have this X11 you speak of how can I go about getting it?

I assume you're running Tiger. If so, X11 is under the optional installs pert of the Tiger Installation Disks. Just pop one in, and install it.
If you're running Leopard, it should be there; X11 is part of it. If you do have Leopard and still don't see it, tell me. I'll send a .zip with X11 in it. - John
