Alright. I’ll give it a go.

I shifted the hue to a nice cerulean (?) blue, lightened and saturated it a bit. I can make it a deeper blue if you want.

Yeah a bit darker would be nice

Lemonous · October 28, 2014, 9:29pm

How about one of these? Too dark? Too saturated? Too purple? Still too light?

BitByte · October 28, 2014, 10:48pm

perfect thanks

Dang that’s sweet, how’d you do it? Any specific photoshop tools?

Lemonous · October 30, 2014, 11:08am

@cae1136 I used Gimp, actually, as my desktop doesn’t have Photoshop installed. It wasn’t really hard, I just opened the original image and shifted the hue to the general colour I wanted, then tweaked the lightness and contrast a slight bit. Gimp has a window where you can control all three of those with sliders. I don’t remember what the menu button is called, exactly, but it is under “image”. I’d check, but on my laptop i only have Photoshop

EDIT: I just realized that means I can check what the corresponding Photoshop command is. It’s Ctrl+U or Image → Adjustments → Hue/Saturation…

Okay I see how you were doing that. If you don’t have photoshop, gimp is the next best thing.

I’ve got a google drive repo of wallpapers to cycle through. dual monitor while I’m at work, and single while I’m at home. I might prepare them for public use this weekend.

And so it came that also this thread should rise from its grave to join the necro army of the undead.

@Hunter5

Pls don’t necropost

… unless it actually contributes significantly to the original topic.
In this case, you’re probably right, as the poster @Hunter5 didn’t mention their wallpaper, just a website. But this is an edge case, and it’s in Off-Topic already.
I’m going to give this the benefit of doubt and leave the topic open, so we don’t end up with a dozen “desktop wallpaper” threads.

Here’s my current one:
