So i have an aluminum macbook, and for ages i've had a folder of hi-res pictures that doubled at my wallpapers folder. Nearly every picture in there is larger than my screen (1260x800 being a minimum) and for a long time this worked out wonderfully.
Anyway, recently ive noticed that my wallpapers look fuzzy and pixelated. This isn't an issue of picking center, stretch to fit, fill screen etc. None of those options work and all my hi-res pics look like crap as a wallpaper but awesome when i open them up in preview or w/e.
The only thing i can possibly think of, is that some time recently my wallpapers folder reached a size threshold that resulted in all my wallpapers being shown in a lower quality to compensate. However this seem ridiculous.
I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with the issue that I'm facing and would be willing to help.
Thanks
edit: i found out that the folder i had selected was my wallpapers folder within aperture. it's essentially the same folder so i still dont quite understand why it fails to show the proper resolution, but yea that was the solution to me being foolish. maybe it'll help someone else
