Playing with PNG files and wallpapers...

Click this image for more info on PNG files... 

I have been making some PNG files for you! :) Quickly, for those who are unfamiliar, PNG files have a transparent background around the image. Meaning, that the border you see as white, isn't there when you insert the image into a digital project.

I know that Photoshop is the software of choice, but for those of you who can't afford it, or don't have the hours to learn how to use it, PhotoScape (FREE!) is a great alternative! (I haven't received any favors from PhotoScape for this...)  Using PNG images makes it even better for collaging images. If enough people comment on this post, I'll do a tutorial on how to use PhotoScape (I use it for 80% of the work that I do and have been using it for about 3 years) and how to create with PNG and JPG images.  It is really cool and has lots of potential for creating fun, dynamic collages.

Enough blahblah... here a few PNG images! :)

Here is a jumbled idea of what PNG images can do.. note that the frame is empty, and the box shadow is translucent to the subject below it... and the tag over the frame..

Do you need the JPG format too? I'm not sure what people out there are looking for.. I'd love to offer what you need, so speak up and I'll do what I can! 

Also, I have been playing with the idea of making wallpapers but there are so many screen sizes out there and creating a dozen different sizes just doesn't seem like fun. But a few I can handle..  :P I have done a trial image, if you try it let me know how it works. Again, if you want them I'll make more! (my screen is uber large so it's hard to gauge how it'll look on yours.)
