I can see that, LOL.
That is a background consisting of two images, both half the width of the actual size. I duplicated both and flipped the one on the right side so the matched evenly in the middle.
First image…
Second image (inverted and with a Photoshop blend mode)…
Together…
And with the mask applied that shows the background area for all six (primary) monitors.
You add all the other stuff (many more layers to this PSB document) in on top and it merges pretty well. The background just enhances things (like it should), rather than showing all the imperfections.
And to make this relevant…all work was done on a 2009 MacPro using Photoshop 2025 and earlier. The complete file is over 6GB.
My stand for the 24" Dell finally showed up today.
Now…no more on the floor monitors

Old reliable (2009 iMac) works like a charm, still! Even better that i've hooked a jamster bass amp to it. Sound quality rocks!!!
Also got a PS Move and PS Eye for my PS3 slim lolol

First is my 2008 24” iMac I bought on eBay for under $100 five years ago: Totally stock except for a 500Gb ssd I added. 4 Gb ram and the stock GPU.
We use it in the basement for Zoom exercise classes. So much better than the phone or a laptop with the large screen. I have never had an issue with Ram even having only 4Gb. I am still using Safari with Mojave on it for our classes. Works fine every day.
The only other upgrade is the Bluetooth JBL speaker you see in the picture. The iMac speakers have deteriorated and the JBL produces much better and bigger sound for exercising. At first the mac wouldn’t recognize it so it took a while but I got it to work with the 2.1 bluetooth in the old iMac.
Since 2009 I developed and run the website for my retired teachers union, the BTAR. I wrote the website using iWeb and although I have attempted to upgrade, I have realized that I like iWeb better than any other program for website development and management. Go Daddy continues to support it and I have had no difficulty publishing for all these years.
I use the Macbook Air in the picture for the website. It is a 2017 totally stock with the 2.2GHz I7. I guess I used my old iBook to actually write the website in 2009.
Safari has proved inadequate for the web support computer so I have used Firefox, Edge and I am currently using Chrome. When they all fail, I’ll use one of the independents from this site.
Two other BTAR board members also have old repurposed macs I have set up for helping with web updating and archiving documents for the organization. One is a 2008 Macbook I bought on ebay, also for under $100, 8Gb ram and a 128Gb ssd. The other is a 2011 Macbook Pro that was owned and retired by one of the board members. They all have either High Sierra or Mojave on them. At first I tried Mojave on all of them (with the help of Dosdude’s amazing programs),but I have realized that for our purpose High Sierra is better because it is native and easier to fix if there is a problem. We also use them for Zoom board meetings as our board members live in NY, Maryland, and North Carolina.
It's amazing that these old Macs continue to function perfectly in their current roles.

How are you connecting the Jamster to your mac? Bluetooth? Also, 'Im trying to place that high mass bridge - what bass is that?
Thanks
1. wired it with an aux cable! Bluetooth doesn't work unless i connect it through mono audio output which sucksHow are you connecting the Jamster to your mac? Bluetooth? Also, 'Im trying to place that high mass bridge - what bass is that?

2. I have NO idea. gift from my uncle from 13 years ago. Started actually using it recently.
Interesting. I watched a few reviews of that little amp and no one noted that the output via BT was mono LOL and I think that is an important note.
What does the bass head stock say? Id imagine it has a maker on it.
I'm not home atm, but it has this strange 'T' logo on it, no full brandname or anything to be found there.
Opening things up a bit again. Eventually I'll get what I want.
My special beloved early 2008 MacBook Pro running on Snow Leopard. My favorite designed MacBook ever. Just love the all silver look, keyboard, and it actually has usb ports, Ethernet port, and a super-drive!!!
Also have a late 2011 MacBook Pro on Lion, mid 2012 MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion, 2009 Mac Pro quad booting on Leopard Server, Snow Leopard, Lion & Mountain Lion, and a 2010 Mac Pro.
