Re: pic submission help

The error you got probably means the email address or number you tried to send pictures to is invalid. Is this some kind of contest? I couldn't find any info on google about "americas best mobile pics" and my best guess is the contest ended and they deleted the email address for submissions.

The website for ABMP is funmail.com
It is an app for camera phones that has monthly contests.

with Wallpaper maker i was able to upload pics to their webside from my computer but with ABMP i cant do that. I think it is something with my phone/service since i both say the address is invalid, but it is the address i got from them and the contest is still going on.

Okay, gotcha. Unfortunately, it sounds to me like the person you should be asking is the staff of funmail.com, they probably know more about it than any of us do. Good luck!

can someone put together a tutorial on how to resize wallpaper for the i870
using adobe photoshop cs plz!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm...

open a picture
use the crop tool(3rd down on the left on the toolbar for me) to select a vaguely right shape (taller than wide)
Image>crop

Image>Image size
Choose 176 for the width (or 220 for the height, but not both) and enter
Image>Image size (again) see how close you came with the dimensions... the result should be CLOSE to 176x220, but a few pixels hanging in either direction probably won't be noticed
crop again as necessary


There's probably a easier way... but that's how I do it when I wanna crop my wee guy's pictures for my phone

Nice one Jeanie! but I think he want's to resize it, not crop. Pretty much, all you have to do is resize the image to 176x220, so:

Got to Image > Image Size > Resample Image > Bicubic Sharpener

Don't resize the image like this if it's a GIF, you have to split it into the R/B/G Channels and then resize. Hope it helps!

My mom has trouble reading the tiny clock at the corner of the screen of her phone. I need a wallpaper that has the time in big bold letters. I've been looking and found nothing. Can anyone help me?

Hmm, I'm not sure this is possible. Wallpapers are just image files, GIF, JPG, or PNG. I mean, you can get clock applications for your phone at http://www.midlet.org but it's an app, not a wallpaper. What kind of phone is it- brand, model number? You might be able to change the size of the display?

the phone is a sony ericsson Z525a not sure what the resolution size is.

The res on that phone is 128x160, but I couldn't find a copy of the user manual online so I can't tell ya much more than that. A lot of phones have an option to change the way the time is displayed, but I don't know anything about sony-ericsson phones. What I do know is there's no such thing as an image file that tells time, sorry.

If you find one let me know where 2 get it!!

It's not possible without a KJava application. If you look in settings, date and time, you should be able to find it... otherwise, check jetjar.com... they should have something

Hey! The Photobucket Images Are All Teh Same?!

How can I find out the dimensions of my display? I'm trying to make a wallapaper, but not even the instruction manual provided this info. So I went to Sprint.com and I came across that the screen was 1.56" x 1.25". I made a wallpaper in photoshop exactly that size and when I uploaded it, not only was it too small, but the top portion of the image was cut-off. So I redid the pic in a different size (much bigger this time) and the same thing happened.

Two questions:

How can I find out my exactly screen display size?

Do I need a special program to resize my images for my phone?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Yeah, resizing for Photoshop is pretty straightforward. You can always type "resizing" into the Help option, as well, if you still can't figure it out. For most of the Adobe programs there is a step-by-step tutorial (with pictures) built into the help function.
