Make a pure black 1440x900 PNG

[eldy]

Please!

There's nothing on this MacBook Pro that I can use to make the image but I want to test the LCD for light bleeding.

Thank you!

Seashore, make a 1440x900 project, paint bucket it black, save as a... anything, really.

It doesn't have to be a PNG, it could be a JPEG if you wish.

Then set it as your background, of which you're obviously aware.

Download Paintbrush, it's pretty decent for basic stuff, and it's free.

You could have also found a black image somewhere on the internet regardless of size and tiled it in the wallpaper settings...

You can do it without downloading anything:

1. Open iTunes
2. Create a new playlist (File > New Playlist)
3. View that empty playlist in Cover Flow (View > As Cover Flow)
4. the Cover Flow area will be black
5. Use screen capture to grab some of the black and save as a file (⌘-Shift-4)
6. Open the file with Preview and adjust size to 1440x900 (Tools > Adjust Size (uncheck "Scale proportionately")
7. Save
8. Done!

i opened windows paint and made a black image.... then i remembered i bought pixelmator and never use it i could have done that as well, and specified the resolution not that makes a difference with a pure black image

I've used a program called Pixel Check for years for testing dead pixels and you can use it to a full black screen also.

Costs nothing and works very well.

Just take a picture with black in it and zoom into that part by pressing control and scrolling in with the trackpad.
