Wallpaper question

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 by Sc4rfy | Discussion: Skinning

Wallpapers is not my speciality....in this simple wallpaper there are rectangular with gradient style and always when i use gradient color and i apply the wallpaper to desktop i see the fastidious lines that indicate the change of color....there is a method for make the wallpaper and then don't see the lines?

I hope you understand....it's always hard explain in english for me

I don't know what others do but..........

I will make at least 3 layers

on the bottom layer the gradient will be opaque

the next layer it will be 70-80% opaque and tilted between 5-10 degrees to the right

and the next layer it will be 70-80% opaque and tilted the same degrees to the left

 

It may not be the BEST way but I've found it works for me.

layering like lantec says is one way...blur layers,noise layers help too.

If you are not seeing it while making it but only after applying to desktop...you are not exporting at the resolution of your screen.(like putting 1920 on 1440 rez)
