wallpaper sizes

[violamay]

I'm just getting into making wallpapers for myself and also to give away. I know what resolution my laptop screen has and consequently what resolution to make a wallpaper for my own use. But how do you approach making various resolutions for others? Do you have to remake the wallpaper in different sizes? That seems like a huge pain. But if you don't, then how do you resize it without distorting it? What are the sizes that you make your wallpapers for general use?

Thanks in advance.

Check out the wallpapers on http://digitalblasphemy.com/ . Specifically, check out how he does the multiscreen vs single screen wallpapers (for the largest contrast, compare the tri-screen and 5:4 versions of some of his wallpapers). It will probably help you come up with some ideas for how to crop/scale your wallpapers without starting over.

It is helpful to see the various sizes he makes and to compare the versions as far as I can see without joining his site. He really does gorgeous work. Thanks so much for the link!
