Hi, Does anyone know how to resize a picture I take with my Satio so that I can use it as my wallpaper? is there any application that I can use to do this, if so, where can i get it?

I have tried using Wallpaperio for the Nokia 5800, but its coming up with errors, so anyone with any info would be greatly appreciated?


Thanks in advance

The best way to create wallpapers for your phone is using software on your computer. It´s easy to crop and resize and you´ll have a lot more options for editing under a mouseclick.
I use Gimp for editing pictures and theming.
So in short, for best results, import your wallpaper-worthy photo´s to your favourite image editor, crop to phone´s screen dimensions, scale (360x640 for Satio), edit if needed (unsharp mask works great if you rescaled a lot), save with any name you like and send back to the phone.
If you send them to Satio by bluetooth they´ll show up as a message. Tap the message, tap the picture, >options>save to>phone/stick>folder(pic/backgrounds). Now it will show in Photoalbum by date, just as the original pics.
You will see that photowallpapers created this way look a lot better than those created with the phone.
Some examples of my own photowallpapers here: http://picasaweb.google.com/mic7345
Note: these are not taken with Satio but with a DSLR.
