How do you make that cool background (hard to explain, but you've probably seen it)

kayson · 03-27-05, 10:30 PM

I'm talking about when people take a picture of their computer, and the wallpaper of the computer is the same as the picture, so it goes on infinitely. If someone has an example of this, please post it.

Kinda like a hall with walls of mirrors? I have a hard time imagining how to do it...

Photoshop, or just take picture of your computer with a digicam set the shot as your background Take another computer shot and set it as the desktop background and I think you have it.

yeah i think that'll work... believe that's how most people do it.

you can glue pieces of glass together on a pair of glasses and just go smaller and smaller with each piece. it may have the same effect.

you grow up, he may not have photoshop and have a pic of his own he really wants to look that way.
maybe just resize it in whatever program you can smaller and smaller until you can see it.
1 pixel x 1pixel.

or just do a search for layered backgound maybe

Before you buy Photo Shop, try downloading Gimp for windows and maybe you can figure out how. Gimp is a lot like Paint Shop Pro but free. If there isn't an 'infinate regression' tool, you can always just resize the original progressively into smaller images and stack them in layers on each smaller monitor screen.
