Seen a few images on the web, I'd like to use as a wallpaper on my iPad. But i want to get the resolution right( 1024x1024). Anyone know any straightforward tools to use to do this?

On a mac!

Cheers

First of all, I'm assuming you meant 1024x768, right?

Second, there's an online image editor you can use.. it's fairly straightforward:

I used Photoshop however.

Thats pretty cool! Thanks

Thanks Kloan, Im still struggling however to make it look as it does on the net on the iPad

What resolution you after? I can quickly scale it for you!

I think the Native iPad resolution is 1024 x 1024.. Thanks in advance

I thought it was 1024x768, but you have to make your wallpapers 1024x1024 because of the automatic flip when you rotate the ipad, or you'd end up with black bars or a stretched image.
