TUNE-UP-TIP - 30TH GROUP PHOTO - WALLPAPER

Q: Is it possible to get a copy of the 30th Anniversary Group Photo to use as wallpaper for my computer?  If so, how do we get a copy and load it on our computer?

A: Yes, it is available for download off the CTV website in the most popular screen resolutions, 1280x1024, 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480. 

Step-by-step details are shown below (running on Windows XP).

  1. Select the photo image which matches the resolution of your computer screen.  If you are unsure about how to check that size, you can right-click on the background of your computer screen with the mouse.

  2. When you see the pop-up, select "Properties" and then select "Settings"

  3. You will see your screen resolution in the "Screen Resolution" box.  Once you have validated the resolution, you can click "Cancel" to close the dialog box.

  4. Now select (right-click) the image with that same resolution from the following list, followed by selecting "Save Target As".

    1280x1024  1024x768  800x600 640x480

  5. Remember which folder that you saved the image into

      the image will be saved when you click the "Save" button.

  6. After saving the image, it is time to use the image in your background settings on the computer.  To do this, right-click on computer background (same as step 1 above).  Choose "Settings" but this time select the "Desktop" tab

  7. Click the "Browse" button and navigate to the location that you saved the 30th Photo image to - by default your system usually goes to "My Documents" or "My Pictures"

  8. Double-click on the 30th Photo image you saved and you will be returned to the "Display Properties" dialog box, where you will now see the 30th Photo Image displayed

  9. Click on the "Ok" button and you will have successfully changed your computer background to the 30th Photo Image, as shown below.

  10. You might want to relocate some icons on the desktop so that they don't cover up the main areas of the photo.

Please email your photos to Doug McMahan
