[Q] Why is Photoshop distorting the images? - Droid X Themes and Apps

I'm trying to color these images for a red theme I am trying to make but whenever I open them in Photoshop, they get all pixelated and distorted. Why is this? Attached is a comparison.

Man after my own heart, red theme! Im using paint.net, pngs stay nice and sharp. Its free too.
Sorry cant answer your other question, photoshop is way above my pay grade

Ahh I got it. I have to do the actual editing in ImageReady and then save the file in Photoshop. I guess ImageReady is better with .png files...weird.

Maybe it has to do with the resolution? As in the resolution is a bit low, hence the reason for it being pixelated. A bit OT, but it is also possible to make some orange icons?

Like these?

A bit more vibrant/richer, but very good. Now if they can make the Droid eye orange too. Thanks.

The gold one might be the closest you can get.

Golden Eye with the orange icon would be pretty nice imo. Thanks.

I find anything else just reduces fidelity and readability.
V
just about any abstract things(like the default WM5 wallpaper). I find that picture of cars, girls, etc is tacky because of the line between the plugins.
yes mate i agree,
i too prefer plain one col backgrounds,im redoing my pda total wipe and reinstall and i dont know which ill go with
prob green or orange ,its been blue for ages
Black coz its matches with JAMin
purple coz its my faforite color (just on Start menu)

[REQ] Wallpaper that shows interior of the HD2

Which graphical designer can make a wallpaper that shows the interior of the HD2 (or whatever device). Would be cool to have a screen that looks like a plate of glass through which you can see all kind a stuff on the inside of the HD2. Just for the fun of it I would like such a wallpaper on my lockscreen.
Check these out!
Here are a few of mine for ya'.
Two of them are actually Touch Pro 2 internals.

Lockscreen template HERE
Wowsa! I like the second one. Thanks.
EDIT: nope, the second one doesn't create the effect I hoped it would create. One should add a little depth to it, so it is like you are looking inside a little box (so to speak). The first one looks better.
Anyway ....
the best thing to do would be to make an app just like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425216 but to put interior of a device instead of targets and that pit
that would give a reeeaaal feel of depth

help me find the BlackBerry Precision Icons in high res

I want to make a great looking manila 2.5 theme out of these but googling Precision icons or such just results in a bunch of bb themes, i found one but its a .jad and i have no clue how to pull the images out or if its even possible.
anyone know where i can find some nice high res pngs of these icons? i think they need to be at least 256x256 from the start

You can try pm'ing mobilematt as he's done some blackberry storm (basically seems like the same icons) themes and may already have some images for you. As well, I have these from a wisbar desktop theme, but they're not 256x256.
thanks, i found the original theme from a storm 9000, i wonder if these are as sharp as they get?
attached for anyone else who wants them but i'd still love to find some HIGH resolution ones instead of cleaning these up myself
Moved as not theme release.

Wallpaper request

Hey guys. Don't know if this is the right area to post this, you can move it if you need to. But I had a wallpaper request. I want a Washington State University logo for my wallpaper on my EVO. I have been trying to make it myself and just cant. Not very familiar with Photoshop. So if anyone wouldn't mind doing this real quick that would be awesome! I want it for my background wallpaper, so i think the correct pixel dimensions are 960 X 800.
I basically want the attached image with just a plain white background.
White background and the crimson WSU logo. The correct size for the EVO so when i go to set the wallpaper on the phone it doesnt get all distorted.
How's this?

Its got a really nice grip to it, and it was easy to apply. What do you think?
looks like you applied that really well looks good
thanks, its really easy to apply, you can un peal it and reapply it and it do sent leave glue behind, took a few tries to get the front right!
did you upload ur image to them? or did they give you the template ?
I did that when I first bought my touchpad. Had a puzzle image for mine. The quality is great and keeps the back scratch free. You can also use your own custom images. Its definitely money well spent.
yeah I uploaded that image, you can position it how you like to there template and they crop your pic and send you a wallpaper that matches up too.
