Here's a link to a bunch of LR wallpapers. Some of the files are "compressed bitmap", which I have never heard of before. MS Paint will open these files - then you can save them as a regular bitmap so that other graphics programs that don't recognise that format can open them. (Photoshop 5.0 LE wouldn't open a compressed bmp.)

Here's a pic that I would like - the link at the above site did not work correctly. Does anyone have a large size (1024x768) copy of this one?

Any links to other large LR images, preferably Discovery? TIA. |

Ok.. fixed the link on the page so it points to the right zip file. The direct link to the .zip file is:

Thanks for catching that.

Chris;
Thanks - I was not aware you were on this board - I had also intended to email you about the bad link.
BTW, what the heck is a compressed bitmap, and why use it over another type? |

Hi John, no problem.
The compressed BMP must be what LR UK used. I downloaded them right from various world wide LR sites and put them into one zip file. To be honest, I never had a problem with setting them as wallpaper on Win98, NT, or 2000. I just put them into the proper directories and was able to use them without needing to reconvert them.
Some of the screen savers however I did have to rip and repackage since they never really worked properly when I d/led them. I emailed the people who were running the site then a few times and if they actually ever repackaged them, I dont know. Its been a while since I went farming for new screen savers and wallpaper for the various world wide LR offical sites.

Chris:
I don't really use those images directly as Wallpapers. I converted them to jpgs, and that is where I ran into the problem with opening them to edit.
I use a wallpaper utility called Krapplet's Paper to make slide shows for my desktop, and it uses jpgs as well as bmps. It's a very cool and very free utility - I recommend it.
