About a Desktop Wallpaper on My Apple iMac Computer

Hi Byron,

try first to go to your System Preferences > Displays and see which resolution your iMac has? Ny 27" has this:

What that means is that your image needs to be the size your monitor is - in my case it would be 2560 x 1440. So, find your size first.

Then you could actually use Preview > Tools > Adjust size:

I entered my screen size.

BUT...... and here is big BUT: unless your image is bigger than that size, it will not look good - it'll be pixelated. You cannot increase size much in an image without the quality going down big time.

So, you can try this, but again, unless your image is originally larger than your screen, you probably won't be happy with the results.

Yes I know it says that, but you can hit scaled just to see the size - nothing will change except you will know your screen size.

If you don't want to use my method, that's fine - no problem! If nobody here has the app you want to use, you could try to contact them on their website and ask them the question.

🙂

By the way, I just bought that software from the developer after looking at it because it appears to do some things which I do regularly. I've just looked through it and tried my adjustments - works great.

Then I looked to see if it had any size adjustments and could not find any. Isn't that what you need here? You want the whole picture, but want it to look centered so nothing is hidden at the top or bottom? Is that right? If that is correct, then Snapheal is not what you need. But maybe I misunderstood you.....

Okay I got it - take a look at this:

If you use the tiniest setting for near the hair (see how small the circles are there?) and then bigger settings for the rest of it, you can do a pretty good job. Just be careful not to get the little red circle to go over the hair. Then hit Erase.

try this and let me know if that worked.

Byron,

I don't think that would work too well - you can only post a certain size here and then you'll have a problem making it larger (remember what I said about the picture getting pixelated if you enlarge it?). And you can't send it in its original size because that'll be too big. And, when I tried it, it did not come out perfect either - there is no way for it to be perfect because the top bar goes right through the hair at the top and you can't take that out there.

Besides, you can do it! Just take your time - don't be tired when you do it and you can undo every step if you make a little mistake.

Sorry!! 😢

Are you telling me you want me to do a screenshot of your screenshot, remove the menu bar, and post the screenshot again? I have to warn you - that is not going to result in a very good pic. I'll do it if you want when I have time - let me know.

Does it have to be that particular wallpaper jpg. or could it be some other picture of Mandy Moore? The question being if you want a suggestive, seductive or regular picture why not Google Mandy Moore Wallpapers and then choose from the many sites listed a picture that shows her whole head, all hair included, or are you looking for her body also.

Okay Byron - I fixed it up; that's the best I could do (I fixed up the hair in an image editor after I got rid of the menu bar) - you owe me big time!!!

Let me know what you think - the blue border is where I took the screen shot - you can get rid of that by taking another screenshot just selecting the white.
