Cool Wallpaper specs for the PE

Does anyone have any insight into the requirements for using my own photos for the PE's wallpaper?

File size, resolution, etc. I've tried everything from a 15kb file, which the PE tries to blow up to full size, to a 4mb file but the wallpaper is still to big to be clearly seen.

Do I need to go to a 4 gb photo?

Any thoughts would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance...

Happy Holidays to all...

File size has little or nothing to do with getting wallpaper to appear correctly - at least on my EE. The main requirement is the pixel vertical and horizontal resolution.

The wallpaper I use on the LCD is a larger picture resized to 1024 x 600 and the e-ink was resized to 1200 x 800 - the EE enlarged that to 1200 x 825 with little discernible distortion.

There are several programs that will allow you to resize pictures while keeping the aspect ratio. You may have to go to a slightly larger size and crop, or let your PE do the final sizing for you.

This assumes you know the actual sizes of the screens on your PE.

I've only tried one picture and it was perfect. I guess I just got lucky.

The native resolution on both Pocket Edge screens is 800 x 600. There is no scaling available; any image with a higher resolution gets cropped. You have to crop the image yourself. An easier way is search Google Images and set the size to exactly 600 width and 800 height. I searched for Escher and had a great wallpaper for the E-ink side in about a minute.
