Hilux Surf Desktop Wallpaper, I'd like some!

[lord_flashart]

Hi Guys, it occurs to me that there are a number of excellent examples of Surfs on this site, both stock and heavily modified, and other than the occasional 'look at my truck' posts, avatars and tiny images elsewhere there aren't any decent pictures.

I run 2 x 24" monitors at work and I like to regularly change my desktop wallpaper and I really like to have a single picture across both screens, the major problem occurs when the content of the image is the wrong shape or the picture is small and when stretched to 3840 x 1200px it looks rubbish!

Does anyone have a link to a gallery or any pictures they'd like to let me use to cut about for my wallpapers?

I've got a new camera and will take some of my own at some point but having pictures of my own truck on the desktop is a bit narcissistic!

I've looked through the photo competition pages and there is a really good one a while back of a yellow Surf on the left hand side with loads of hill and sky in the background out in the middle of nowhere which is perfect but I don't like taking things without permission.



Thanks,

Ray.

Ray,
Do you have any photo editing software? If you have a spanned display like ?I think you do (both screens is one screen) then why not make two photos the resolution of one screen (i.e. resizing) and then use the photo editing program (photoshop would be excellent) to make those two photos one large wide image. That way, when you make that your desktop you have two images, one on each display.
The resolution you get with the stretched display is quite big and an odd shape. Even a 5mp camera's image wouldnt be full size on width using that resolution.

Yeah, I use Photoshop most of each day.
I have different pics on each desktop most of the time but there's something special about one picture across two screens!
