Does anybody know where I can get a LeBron James retina wallpaper? I've been looking for one but to no avail.
 
Hello all,
I was wondering if someone has an iPad version of this wallpaper? I found it in the excellent (and L O N G) iPhone retina wallpapers thread and it seems to be my favorite. Thanks in advance!

I made that wallpaper custom for the iphone. I don't think you will find an ipad version of it.

Well, I think you made a good one there! I keep going back to it as my iPhone wallpaper. It looks great! Any chance you could create an iPad version?
 
Here's a couple of gritty HDR shots I made with my new D800. They look great on the iPad.

Well, the purpose of these images IS to be used as wallpaper, so I'm not sure why you would care how they looked when not being used as wallpaper?

But to answer your question, the images would have to be saved as exactly iPad resolution, 2048 x 1536. The problem with that is if you make it 2048 x 1536, when you stand the iPad upright (portrait orientation), the image won't fill the screen, and if you make the image 1536 x 2048, when you turn the iPad on its side (landscape orientation) the same would be true. That's why these images are made 2048 x 2048, so that they will work as wallpaper either way you turn the iPad.

Well, you can use 2048x1536 for wall paper but the image will zoom when the device is rotated.
 
Thanks for explaining. That makes sense. I like to have an album of high res pics to look through, instead of just having one wallpaper. Is there any way for me to edit these photos in iPhoto to make them 2048 x 1536?

the 500px app (like flickr but with more pro than amateur photographers) displays images at native iPad retina resolution so they look stunning.

Incidentally photographers can opt to sell their images at wallpaper resolution on the website and even through the app for a modest fee. This means you have access to thousands of professional photographs you can use as wallpapers.

Example: http://500px.com/photo/6658684

Note: 500px is the name of the website only. Just thought i'd mention this before somebody gets the mistaken impression that the images are displayed at 500px only.
 
Yeah, but how many people want to pay for wallpaper?

On the 500px iPad app, if you find an image you like, just take a screenshot of it. You'll get an iPad resolution image, with is fairly large if you do it on the new iPad's retina display.
 
I'm really looking for android looking retina wallpapers, meaning abstract light glare type of photos. I'd appreciate it if anybody has some.

This is picky, but would it be possible to have the several crosshairs removed from the image of the moonscape? I count 10 visible

Many thanks in advance!

Edit: Here's the link to the picture from the original post.



Hi Joe. I went ahead and removed the cross hairs for you as well as balanced the image. Below is a sample Home Screen & Lock Screen of how it looks.

Beth, you're great. I think it was you whom also worked on my beach wallpaper. Thanks a billion, seriously!
 
You are most welcome. If you need anything else, just let me know. :p

Bethany can you give these a go in a black or dark grey background? :)

can someone please make this retina for the new iPad and also maybe make the white part of the picture black please

It will be impossible to upscale this image while still preserving quality unless one would recreate it from scratch.

Anyway, here is something similar. Hope you like it.

What makes a wallpaper retina? I would like to help others who requested find wallpapers.
 
Does anybody have any good Bill Murray retina wallpapers?

Here you go Earlet. It was kind of a pain to do because there aren't very many good photos of him. I've evenly spaced his eyes so they are not blocked by the icons in either landscape or portrait view.

Let me know if you like it or if there is anything else I can do. :eek:
