Wallpapers

[out_there]

Okay, on Monday, I made a Dan/Casey wallpaper for celli. It turned out too dark (I've since learned that pictures look brighter/higher contrast when I'm working on them in PhotoshopCS, so I need to factor that in). I've played with a few different effects on the texture layers and came up with four different lighter versions.

The original:


Version 1:


Version 2:


Version 3:


Version 4:


So, which do you prefer as a wallpaper? Which do you prefer just as a graphic? Is there a difference between the two, and if so, what do you look for in a wallpaper vs. a manip?

Oh wow. I love the original version, actually. It's dark and moody and just very sensual... Mmmmm. Oh yeah!

I ended up using that one myself. I think it was a case of everyone has their monitor set to a different contrast, so what looks great and like this private, hidden moment (which that picture does for me: like Dan and Casey getting home late, when the sun's already up, and... yeah, you can make your own fun from there) is too dark/too coloured on other people's screens.
