Sharp wallpapers in monochrome, black and white. Something you would put on a lock screen, so not limited to just book wallpapers. Preferably in standard e-reader sizes.
>>7990959And, the original source image for comparison. Note it went from an original ~2.3 MB jpeg to a nearly 4 MB PNG, even though it got resized down (in total pixels from 6.72 to 4.61 megapixels) by over 30%.
>>7990947>The Kindle Scribe 1860x2480 is perfectly 3:4 ratio. This is probably the "best" format since it will auto-fit everything smaller (?I hope?).Turns out the only Kindles on that list that aren't in 3:4 ratio are the DX models and the Voyage/PW Gen.3/Oasis1/PW Gen.4/Gen.11
I upscaled this one slightly, for an increase of ~10% total pixels (3.77 megapixels to 4.17 megapixels). Again, fairly strong increases in contrast & gamma. Wiped out some minor detail but helps make the B&W pop a bit.Um, also, I've been using 8 BPP/256 grayscale since 4 BPP seriously degrades the image. That might look better for some types of images, but it was horrible for this one (and the previous).
>>7990961>the only Kindles on that list that aren't in 3:4 ratioYeah, I noticed that. It's why I chose the Kindle Scribe to standardize on. It has the highest resolution and the 3:4 ratio, which "should" be the easiest to convert/scale to whatever the others take. I would hope they can all auto-adjust to fill the screen, and downsizing usually presents fewer quality problems than upscaling. Usually.And, >>7990965>picrelOriginal source file for comparison. Because I also imagine most ereaders can take a color image and auto-convert to B&W/grayscale. Since I don't have access to any to test for myself, I'll rely on feedback from anyone else's experiences comparing these.
>>7990965So, yeah, the 1680x2480 dimensions were supposed to be 1860 wide. If that's important, tell me & I'll do what I can. It would mean more aggressive upscale & maybe more loss/distortion of detail, plus stronger cropping in the vertical which will throw out part of the top &/or bottom.Or, I could try a different dimension >>7990819 to avoid the upscale issues.>picrelA conversion from 16.7 million color to 8 BPP/256 shades grayscale. Lots of contrast & gamma tweaking, plus dropped the brightness a bit. Not a great source image, but I wanted to try it and see what I ended up with. Let me know how it looks on an ereader.G'dnight. I'll drop in every now & then to see how things are going.
post the worst pape you havea continuation of >>7909108

the best edit
do i even have to explain this one?
Chess paintings or chess wallpaper
>>7980709Should've been a queen instead.
>>7989052He needs an opponent to shine though
>>7990546This image pisses me off to an irrationally large extent
>>7990854I understand
So many badly arranged boards... you would think it's easy to check a real game or at least see in any sort of chess article how a chess board is arranged but no.Amusingly, the Renaissance masters couldn't be asked to do so either, a good half of the classical paintings I've seen have the light square to the left, so this is a theme.Even freakin' Louis Vuitton did the smart thing of simply picking a real position.>>7985826That's not Tal though.
>>7989092version without the logo
I absolutely love this stuff.
>>7989212some anon here upscaled that one
>>7989210I like them but they're usually too vertical for my widescreen displays.
Even though i live quite near the tropic of cancer and carry pure and perfect hatred for hot weather, summer, the mosquitoes which it brings, the sweat...i can go on but i also have awe for the Desert. I love it's aesthetic beauty, the fight which the creatures and plant life which inhabit it carry against death foretold by nature itself. I love the desert, please help me expand my collection.
>>7980535How in the fuck does a landscape like that form?
>>7989185Weathering and erosion of flat layers of sedimentary rock that have probably been uplifted. I don't know exactly where this is (probably on the Colorado Plateau somewhere there's a lot of places that look like this there) but the sheer cliffs are probably massive aeolian sandstone or some limestone with a caprock and the chunky base is probably a layered mix of fluvial sandstones and siltstones.
Post your wallpapers based on cool old/vintage stuff (1970's-2000's)
>>7988980 wtf is this from i know it
>>7964252If I'm thinking of the right guy, I think I remember you posting these on a Discord server back when you first made these. I still really appreciate the effort you put into making these anon, thank you
>>7990467buckle up for a nostalgia trip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvRwG0bHG3o
>>7943720based.
>>7966139>>7966140>>7966141I like wallpapers like these, any more?
Anything from the 90's to the early/mid 2000's, OR anything that looks like it's from that period.Upscales & modifications are welcome.
Background wallpaper from a Gateway laptop.
Another vintage Gateway pape, almost certainly from the 90's.
