Has anyone used JHoagland's beach backgrounds with Nerd's backdrop or RDNA's backdrop? JHoagland's are a good canidate for spanning the background across 2 backdrops, but the height of the images is only 768. Most of the images Nerd supplied are in the 800 or greater range.

I had been playing around with another freebie background tool and taken a few digital photos of Australian countryside to use. Downloaded some free stuff photos here for Nerds backdrop that worked okay and measured them in Photodeluxe 2, made this drawing as a rough guide of their size and layout for making my own scenes. I would suggest taking several pics of each scene, picking the best for manipulating and cropping. Come summer here I'll be making a pile of beach and other scenes from my digital camera to suit the "infinity cove" backdrop and donating them as freebies. Tommy.

I have been using W1600 H1200 in Nerd's backdrop I have to set Xscale to 160 so I think you can use almost anypic just try it.

Hi sting, are you talking inches or millimeters for your photos? My HP digital camera on high quality setting produces a jpeg 16 inches wide X 12 inches high, some adjustment to either the backdrop tool or the photo is required to prevent distorting the image. Probably better to size crop the jpeg to fit. The photo here shows the centre dividing line and dimensions with my camera, this photo was taken with camera rotated to portrait then the shot turned 90degrees in photo software for a long landsape.

If you will look at my pic in the gallery "Lara in Fantasy" you will see a pic that was W1600pixels by H1200pixels when I loaded it into Nerds Backdrop it was to wide so I set the Nerds Backdrop Xscale to 160.
