custom wallpaper problem

I am making some custom wallpapers for my Incredible, and am running into a few problems.
I am using photoshop and saving my pictures as JPEGs. They are 960x800 px.
They pretty big files, usually 1.5meg.
When I put the pictures on my sdcard, and I go to change the wallpaper, I go to gallery, then find the picture I have put on, and when I select the picture, it acts like it goes to the resize portion of the process, but then it just goes back to the gallery.
I have also tried loading the wallpaper straight through ASTRO file manager, with no luck either.
I'm sure I am missing something terribly simple, but I can't find it online.
Any help would be great. Thanks
There is an attachment of one of the images.

The problem is that we are 480x800

i dont think thats the problem. i cant even view the photo in gallery right. is there a limit to the size of the jpg?

The image that uploaded to the website is only 92.3kb. Just downloaded it and set it as a wallpaper no problem
1.5mb for a 960x800 image is HUGE.
I just played around with it for a bit and I think I figured out what your doing. Is your image properties set to cmyk (32bit)? That would explain why your file size is so big. Change it to rgb (24 bit). I'm thinking the android platform doesn't play to nicely with cmyk files.
I'm going to upload my cmyk file and see if this website automatically converted it to rgb on upload, which is what im thinking happened to your upload here.
Edit: yep that's exactly it. The website converted it, the attachment that was uploaded was 1.2mb and I just downloaded it; 94.3kb.

Awesome thanks for your help. I will switch it to rgb when I get home and try it out and report back

i highly recommend using wallpaper set & save instead of the stock wallpaper chooser.

facebook and pictures

does anyone have problems with portrait pictures with facebook? heres the thing. i take a portrait picture then i upload it to facebook but then somehow it always shows a a landscape picture on FB. very frustrating. is there a fix for this?

I think this is an android bug common to all devices.

The only workaround I know is to crop the photo before uploading. You don't have to make any changes, but the act of cropping seems to fix the orientation issue.

turn your phone sideways in landscape when you take the picture

Anyway to convert Screen Capture format?

Is there anyway to convert Screen Capture format from PNG to JPG? I'm using Handcent app and it won't allow me to send the PNG pics.

open shootme and press menu and go to prefrences and change from png to jpg

I think the OP may be using the built in screen capture? Something like Image Resizer Pro from the market might work.

Guys I'm not using any generic apk for screen capture. I'm using the native LG screen capture (Home+Power) app and its saving it as PNG. Any help will be appreciated.

Before I learned about power+home, i tried shootme and drocap and neither worked. All the screenshots taken appeared to be of the LG splash screen from boot.

MMS attached images playing like movies

In the native messaging app, attached images don't show a picture thumbnail like they do in third party apps like GO. Instead, there is a little play button and it opens a little media player. But on some ROMs that I've flashed, it has been an image thumbnail that would open an image. That leads me to believe that there is a setting somewhere that affects this. Is there a way to change how MMS behaves to attachments?

Anyone recommends a nice slideshow photo widget (supports more than 100 photos)?

On my LQ2 ICS UK Carphonewarehouse O2 Note there is a preinstalled photo slide show widget called "Photo frame". Just select more than 1 pic to be displayed and it transitions between them at good res etc.

Yeah it comes with the note gallery app. It's good but it's only limited to 100 photos.
Various Photo widget is good too. Nice resolution and I think unlimited photos (I have 400+ in a folder) but it gets stuck a lot of times and u have to re- set it.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
