How to convert this image to a wallpaper?

---

Get a good shareware image editing program, such as PaintShop Pro 4.1, available at Tucows, or Jasc Inc., install it, and then open the JPG image you just saved.

First, you'd like to reduce the color depth to 256 colors, to make the file smaller. A 24bit color 800X600 bmp file is about 1.5 MB), while a 256 color bmp file is about 440 KB large.

If you have enough memory, you can always load a large bitmap file as a wallpaper, so skip Step 1 and proceed to Step 2

Step 1

On the menu bar, click on "Colors", then "Decrease color depth", then "256 colors (8-bit)".
On the next window, select the following:

• Palette: Click on "Optimized"
• Reduction method: "Error Diffusion"
• Options: "Reduce color bleeding"
• Then hit the "OK" button.

Then, to save the new smaller image as a Windows wallpaper, execute the Step2, below:

Step 2
