how hikaru makes her wallpapers;
With no vain on my part, this section would like to be an easy explanation page on how I work to make wallapers, that you can use to make your wallpapers.
1) I choose the image that is going to become the wallpaper: anime, manga or simply a photo I like.
Watching it I try to figure out how it should be, and then I start the image editing.
2) I open my favourite graphic program, the GIMP, and start working with the image.
About the 90% of times the result of the work is quite different from the initial project, so don't be discuraged if you can't do all as you thought when you started.
I usually save the image with all layers visible, so I can simply modify it if I need.
3) The layered image is saved as a 'jpg' with best quality then published here.
I also create a thumbnail with a bounding box of 150x200px with lower quality that the wallpaper.
4) Finally I wait for net surfers' feedback!!
I strongly believe that is the most important (and funny :))) step of my work. :)
