Got my new 22" LCD's installed with a combined desktop of 3360x1050.

I've been looking for some good background images in this resolution.. anyone know of any? The sites I found mostly need membership..

sci-fi, nature, abstract whatever I'd like.

I only found 2 so far, one from an Ubuntu desktop which is ok, but not great..

Bok,
You may have to find to just go and take the camera and take a few photos and stitch them together to get an image that size. The software that comes with the camera might be able to do that.
That of course needs
1: A pretty good Digital Camera capable of at least 1600 x1200 so you have the ability to downsize the image slightly and have good optical zoom not digital unless it's got anti-shake it don't cut it.
2: The software to stitch together then resize it.

I mean you could take 2 favourite scenes at good enough resolution and blend them alone one edge and use that.
Might be able to get a new gadget out of this see ;)

Hadn't thought of that..

I've got a 6MP Canon Powershotshot. I'll play about with some pics under the GIMP and see what I can come up with..

There's two here (http://www.widescreenbabes.com/gallery/3360x1050) (NSFW!) but there is an obvious point of focus (:)) with not much else happening.

There's a few here (http://www.forge22.com/wallpaper/?d=dual%20widescreen) which look OK.

on a (sort of) related note, I have some pictures already that I'd like to stitch together to make an image like that. does anyone know of good software to easily do that? (i have Gimp already, is it easy to do that in gimp?)

... by easy I mean it has to pick out for itself where the images fit together, not just paste them directly side by side...
windows or linux, either one works

I don't think there is such a program I'd just end up taking two images and overlapping them and then make some dot blend mask (big dots going smaller either way stylee) and then put it all together.. (saving the dot mask for other times)

I have had decent luck with ptgui/smartblend (http://smartblend.panotools.info/). Autostitch (http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html) is apparently quite good, but I wasn't able to have much luck with it. Both do all the stitching in a few easy steps.

That's exactly what I'm using right now (for lack of any others out there...)
