Ok...I recently made a couple wallpapers with PSP8, for example, I made one with 2 crossing axe's in the middle, the axe's being original work, looks fine in PSP, when I load it up on the desktop, all around the edges of the axe's is slightly distorted. Like how a 800x600 wallpaper looks on a 1280 desktop. Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to correct this. Got some work I'm really proud of and excited about the evaluation. Thank You.

Its set for 1280x1024. When I zoom to 100% (which is actual size...uuhhh... I believe, sorry, new at this) it looks fine in psp, but when I put it on the desktop, it looks totally different! Also, another question, is there a way to, well, I dont want to say sharpen, I know how to sharpen the image and thats not what i'm lookin for, it's just slightly blurry. Any help is much appreciated, Thank You.

I assume your screen resolution is 1280x1024 also. OK..... the image looks fine in PSP, then you save it as a what...... jpg, bmp, gif, png? If gif, don't do that, not a good format for walls. bmp, and png should be fine. If jpg, then I wonder what the compression setting is... best to use the Jpeg Optimizer for that. Go to file > Export > Jpeg Optimizer... keep the compression low. This is all pure guess work until you provide details.
Did you happen to save a copy as a .pspimage also? If not you'll probably have to start over, it'll be tough trying to repair a botched image.

Do Not zoom to 100%, use "Normal Viewing" it will then display as original size, when applying to the desktop, don't use stretch, use centre

Stumpy, in PSP, Zoom to 100% is normal viewing.

I dont work with PSP, but It might also be that when you saved the work you saved it with a low resolution setting.
