It would likely be hard to find anyone pickier than I am about simple desktop wallpaper. Over the years my taste in images has evolved and been refined time and time again. Looking back on old screenshots I see desks that today I would never think of running, but then they were what I wanted. These days, images I like are in very short supply. Several times over the past months I've seen an image that I liked... sort of. And so, out of necessity, I've entered the desktop business. My modifications aren't fancy -- I'm no artist -- but they serve my needs. If they serve yours, that's just an added bonus.

This image is compiled from two stock photos obtained off deviantart. The eye image is from here, the image of the woman is from here. I used a colormap rotation on the eye image to recolor the flesh tones without altering the reflection colors. The other image was softly cut out of its background, then pasted and make only about 55% opaque. The colors are very nice for blue, yellow or green transparent terminals.

This image is modified from an image by strip. I liked the original, but it had too much black for me to run transparent terminals on top. My modifications consist of the color around the image material, and changing the eyes to green (just to break things up a bit).
