iPhone 6(S)/Plus iPhone 6 Wallpaper Request Thread

Would someone here be willing to resize or simply make these into the parallax resolution for the iPhone 6? I believe it's 852 x 1608? I believe I attached these right without compressing or losing quality?
Would truly appreciate it!
PS. Out of curiosity, what software could someone use to do it if you're a mac user?
Edit: Sorry for the huge pics. Perhaps a mod could put them all in thumbnails?

First couple. Photoshop or Pixelmator will do the job. Pixelmator is far cheaper.

Thank you so much firedept! I guess the pics are so big that it isn't possible to simply shrink them entirely? I guess you divided them which explains why you made so many?
I do have Pixelmator, but I can't find a beginners guide or anything to actually start using it. Got any suggestions?

A quick search will give you hundreds of tutorials on Pixelmator. Plus the more you use it, the easier it will become. It takes time to learn. I personally use Photoshop and it took me a long time to learn it. As a matter of fact I learn something new with it almost every time I use it. They are such large programs it is hard to know everything. Lots of fun to use.
As for the images you provided, I had to either chop them up or turn them to fit them to scale. Otherwise I would of had to distort them or double them up and flip one of the doubles to make them fit to scale for the 6, as you will see below. First one is doubled and second one is distorted.

Well I made a clumsy comment, but I simply couldn't find a good beginner's guide. I'll look into that though, since I didn't really do my research.
I see. So what would be a preferable resolution to provide (if I want it in parallax) here in order for you to properly scale/resize the image without needing to crop or the picture getting distorted? 16:10 in 2560*1600 or perhaps 2208*2208?
Btw, the reason I ask for the parallax resolution is because since parallax will inevitably zoom a bit, the added resolution is there to simply compensate for the zooming? So the image itself would as good as parallax turned off and using the regular 1334*750 resolution?
The actual ratio of the iPhone 6 is 10.5:16. Remember the width will come before the height. I use a resolution of 72 ppi. I have tried a ppi of 300 and it does not look any different than 72 when viewing on my iPhone 6. The resolution only becomes important when you are going to print something.
An image on an iPhone is going to set itself to the screen resolution of the phone no matter what resolution you set the image too. As long as you make the image the correct size of 750 x 1334 or 872 x 1635. The phone will take care of the rest. The image size is the more important thing on an iPhone.
I absolutely appreciate all the work you do on these so may I ask for one more resized for iPhone 6 standard view? And is there any way possible to make this more blue or navy blueish? Thank you!!

Per request with a couple options on the blue. Let me know if you would like any changes. Standard View.
