Okay, My laptop has a resolution of 1366x768. I made a wallpaper on Gimp today, using a template that is 1366x768. I saved the wallpaper on my laptop as a .tif file, which I heard keeps the image at high quality. when I view the image it's a crisp and High quality image, but when I set it as my background it loses that quality. Why is that? Could someone help me please
I've tried it all, Fit screen, stretch, tile, centred. They don't make a difference coz the image is the same size of the resolution, but thanks for your suggestion.
Did you use any vector tools when you made it? The gimp Windows binary does not support LZW compression. I believe there is a seperate plugin available. Look on the gimp site.
.jpg or .png should be fine. Try one of those formats.
I've tried saving it as a .png file. The image i put up is the .png file version cos I can't upload .tif files to the net. But I was suspecting something like what Daruny mentioned coz it only seems to affect the image when it is set as a wallpaper. Thanks for the suggestions guys
The difference is in the quality of the c4d's in the background and the tattoo image on the left. If you open the two images in new tabs and click through both the tabs a couple of times you could probably spot the difference
I'ma download it and screen save it and see if there is anything different.
I'm using a m@ded vista, but if I see something wrong in it, the win 7 and vista shouldn't make much difference when setting up the background.

BEFORE ANYTHING!
Hover the icon of the picture until the properties appear if the image shows the size 1366x768.
After doing it I noticed that even if you download the png version and make it tif version and increase the size, to the size of the screen, it lost it's quality. I'm sorry to tell you this but the image is low quality. Do you have the full size picture (1366x768)? I know its horrible to upload giant pictures, so the best bet is to, first open the image as tif on gimp, copy the image, paste in a new image, and save as .png. If it still looks a bit weird, do try to paste on MS paint and save as png. If it still looks weird then there must be something about your graphics to look deeper. D:
Makes me wonder what.
I got the same res and here is what I got, I notice the small details, but like I said the picture I downloaded is 1023x575.
I noticed that to, the pic I uploaded is not 1366 x 768 anymore. I put the image as my ps3 wallpaper and the image is all good, so I'm guessing there's is something with my graphics or Ram, coz my colour is 32bit.
