September Desktops - a tad bit early I know....

[AhmedFaisal]

.... but I am on holiday next week so here we go.... Neon Genesis Evangelion for your pleasure, Rei still rulez folks! :p Again quality of the original is much better but 100k limit does not allow to save it in that quality.

can't wait to see Jackass... and edesignuk, what's up with that screenshot? is that from one screen?? :confused: or you've stitched a dual moniter setup together?

and i would be posting a screenshot... except for the small fact that i don't even have my PowerBook yet! :mad:

*damn Scum-a-rola, stupid unknown Apple delays...*

but if i did have a wallpaper to show, it'd probably be something of Michael Turner, or another legendary master of comic book women. :D

[mactastic]

I'll post mine on Monday. You know, in September!:D

[Giaguara]

tomorrow is still august too.

oh well.

[Powerbook G5]

Once I get my new PowerBook (in September! ) I will post a screen shot when I get it all tweaked out. My current OS 9 desktop is the same as it was last month.

[OutThere]

My desktop changes every hour :D Edesign-you really messed up this post with that double pic thing, the thread is like 4 times the width of my monitor.:rolleyes:

edesignuk, you jerk, why the $#@% did you do that? now i have to sit here and wait for my $%#$ing browser to scroll alll the $#@% way too the right side of the page.... drop dead.

this one is of Radiohead's "Amnesiac" cover.

on another note, is that the actual quality of the image or did you have to scale it down a lot to fit the 100K thing? i hope it's pixel perfect :) --if so, it's nice. you should get an account with macsnaps.com so you can share your desktop images there and then link them here.

[eyelikeart]

and to answer the question...

yes...I did take this photo... ;)

I know I should contribute. I waste so much space with my stupid posts and mistakes while trying to post. These monthly desktop threads kill me. :)

As for the image itself, it is better quality than that, but not much. I started off with a screen capture of her performance at the VMAs, so it wasn't that great to being with. And with my primitive Photoshop skills, I blurred everything except her for effect. But I did need to lower the quality quite bit to get it to fit under 100k.

I'll look into that macsnaps.com thing to see if I can do better next time. :D

:D i was just playing around with you about the angry thing. but no, i am not shadowfax0, i don't even know who he is. i used to see his ranking on the MR folding team, but i haven't seen him on the forums, except for his account, which i once looked up for some reason or other. i should PM him and see why he picked shadowfax0--since i think he registered before me....

i don't know if you know this trick, but this is for you and all of those who don't know. the best way i have found to compress an image is using preview to export the image to a jpg, choose the advanced options, select best depth and target size 102400. this will give you an image that is as good as it can get at 102400 or smaller. i get pretty good results on the desktop image, and the icons are the only things that seem to get blurred.

this is the second month that we have jumped the gun by several days. i really wish you guys would stop starting these threads till the first of the month. if you need to post a desktop in august, we have this thread called "august desktops." you can post it in there if you have to post it before september.

I thought the same thing! I remember seeing a screen capture somewhere (I think on MacAddict) around April when they were talking about the then top secret Panther features and one of them was piles and they had a screen shot that looked much like that saying it was proof that Panther would have the Piles feature. All it looked like was a mass of 15 or so icons all scattered on top of each other.

i am running 7B44. havent really felt like upping to 49. i think the show desktop feature has shown the edges since 7b28 or so. i actually like it better than a completely clear desktop, as it keeps you within a workflow.

[King Cobra]

All right Shadowfax (with one capital S and without the 0 at the end of your name :D)

Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Grab

Take a selection (Capture menu) and you've got a .tiff file.

why are we talking about grab, though? does cmd-shift-3/4 use grab? i thought it was some kind of system screen capture thing.

in any even, i guess it doesn't matter to me, because i set snapz pro X to take JPGs...

You will forever bear the curse of the varying Ss. :D

You could take your Apple -- Shift -- 3 .pdf file and export it from Preview to a .jpg. And it's free to do.

i know all the elaborate stuff--i use photoshop to convert stuff, usually, i like the quality adjustability on jpg you get with it.

and yes, i suspect that since i changed my name to "shadowfax" about a month ago from its original "Shadowfax" when i signed up, i will forever be cursed with varying Ss.

Yes, it looks like blood and aqueous humor. The result of some sort of injurt to the eye. I don't find it gross because of training. Just sad for that kind of injury. Do you know what I'm actually seeing scem0?

There aren't any that I've found that are as good as Synergy. I usually don't buy shareware myself, but this program was just amazing. Not only does it show what what song is playing every time one starts, it allows you to control iTunes from keyboard commands, or from the menu bar, without changing applications. It's really worth the measly 5 dollars the developer asks for.

Try this: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9028. It does almost everything that synergy does and it's free! Hey, I use it. If you look in my desktop image you can see it.

I'm surprised that no-one has used any of the nice G5 shots that showed up a while back (http://www.billnoll.com/g5/).

Here's my work desktop:

doesn't she seem a bit.... fake to you?

I think her lack of imperfections makes her less sexy. She needs a zit or something.

scem0 she looks fake because the photo is manipulated. it's been filtered or brushed to look like some kind of painting. the filter/brush job has the side effect of blending anything in the order of imperfactions into the more dominant shades. although i would bet that even before the filter, any imperfections on her face were covered well by makeup.

my zhang ziyi desktop is void of imperfection as well and it looks fine. i don't feel any inclination to put a zit on her...

Well, I also meant that the shape of her face is too perfect, the size of her breasts are too perfect, her make-up is too perfect, she is way too 'budweiser beer commercial looking'.

I hope I'm not the only one who could picture a chick like that in a budweiser commercial.

Her being airbrushed just annoys me more.

Well, Laeittia is one of the most beautiful women in the world. I know I spelled her name wrong, so sorry ;)

I guess I just think women who have a more exotic or unique look to them are more beautiful.

scem0 i agree with you there--i tend to be more attracted to foreign women (don't look at my 'tar). but "uniqueness" is not an imperfection, nor is it really unique. "exotic" women are also rather common. show me a girl, and i'll take you around campus here in Norman and show you several more like her. that you are in america, in a part of it where women who have characteristics that are more like laetita casta's is just an incident of your existence (and mine).

Here's my desktop for September

I'll try it again :rolleyes:

Just thought I'd pop in here and randomly post two new desktops I made. This is how I waste the 15 minutes in between my classes. Enjoy! :)

pretty nice, man. i especially like the last one, though it clashes with your dowloads icon a bit.

Oopsie - forgot to add one. Here's the last:

...as you can see, someone sent me a message as I took the screenshot.

This is my latest, took the background pic (on rotation with a similar one) on sunday evening from the soon to be living room of our newly built house.

I was just going to ask how far along the new house was. I couldn't find the pictures on your website.

My desktop is the same as last month, so I won't post the pic again. I find something new for next month.

got my new camera yesterday, Canon powershot S230... took this pic in my physics lab today, and played around with it in photoshop. basically, it's a light bulb in a clear container of water.

I like the blue in your desktop shadowfax. It looks like a face. A very interesting picture. Could you please explain?

Could you please explain? sure. this picture is actually taken in the lighted room, but it's taken from about 10 cm away from a clear container of water that is roughly the size of a 16 oz. coke can. the lid of this container has a small light bulb that is seated upside down at the end of a downward protrusion in the lid... it's all sealed, and then hooked up to a power source from the top of the lid. that diagonal line on the left of the lower arc of the bulb is the reflection off of an ohmmeter in the water that we used to measure the temperature of it (much more accurate than a thermometer). all the little dots are bubbles accumulated on the surface of each.

here, i'll just include a more... normal shot of what it is.
