Create Stunning Panoramic Images With Pano [Android 2.1+]


class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/image126.png" alt="" />Today we’re going to be looking at href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.debaclesoftware.pano">Pano, a camera app that currently goes for $2 on the Android Market. Pano has no built-in effects; it doesn’t have advanced shutter controls or a built-in timer. It doesn’t do Lomo, and you can’t say “cheese” to have it take a picture. It does just one thing, but something no other camera app I reviewed so far can do – it helps you take large, beautiful panoramic images.

How Pano Works

If you have a point-and-shoot camera with a panorama mode, Pano will probably feel familiar. The app guides you through taking a series of pictures – you take the first shot, and then Pano takes a bit of its right edge, and shows it on the left side of the screen, semi-transparent.

This sounds complex, so here’s a screenshot:

class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/image127.png" alt="image" width="300" height="500" border="0" />

The strip you see on the left was on the right of the original image I took. The black part in the screenshot contains the “live view” from the camera (can’t really make screenshots of the live view in most camera apps). You then gently rotate the phone to line up the image you’ve already taken with the new image – jut try to overlay them one on top of the other, as best as you can. Then tap the shutter button. Lather, rinse, repeat. The direction, by the way, is always left-to-right. If you mess up, you can always tap Undo.

class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/image128.png" alt="image" width="300" height="500" border="0" />

Making The Final Image

Once you’re done taking your screenshots, tap the inviting-looking checkmark button, and Pano will set to work crunching your data and making it into a (hopefully) breathtaking vista of natural beauty and awe.

class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/image129.png" alt="image" width="300" height="500" border="0" />

This actually takes a few moments, especially if your panorama contains five or six images.

Pitfalls

Pano works best for taking scenic images of distant views. Here’s what happened when I tried making a panorama of my workspace:

class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/image130.png" alt="image" width="580" height="348" border="0" />

I do have two 24” monitors, but I can assure you the one on the right does not look that warped in real life. On the other hand, here’s what Pano created when I tested it with the view out of my balcony:

class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/image131.png" alt="image" width="580" height="348" border="0" />

In fact, this screenshot doesn’t the the panorama justice. Here’s the panorama image in full width. You get extra-creepy points if you use it to figure out where I live.

class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/image132.png" alt="image" width="580" height="151" border="0" />

For something that came out of a smartphone, this is very impressive. That is not to say it’s perfect; obviously the shot was handheld, and I was unable to match each image perfectly to the previous one. This results in artifacts like this one:

class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/image133.png" alt="image" width="310" height="227" border="0" />

See that blurry-looking satellite dish in the middle? The one that looks like it has a halo. That’s what happens when Pano can’t stitch the images perfectly together. But other than that artifact, the full-scale version of the image doesn’t show any other noticeable defects. I wouldn’t necessarily make a poster out of it, but it does give a very good sense of what this particular view looks like (scary, and with lots of cranes, yes).

One last thing you should know is that Pano doesn’t export full-resolution images. My panorama was 645px tall, and the phone is capable of taking images that are at least 1400px tall (more than twice as much).

Bottom Line

Pano is not just another camera app. It is very task-specific, and it does what it say on the tin. If you want to preserve a beautiful view, Pano provides one great way to do so.  Let us know if you prefer another Android camera app for taking your panoramic views.

Create Stunning 3D Panoramas On Your iPhone With Microsoft Photosynth [iOS]


class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/intro10.jpg" alt="iphone panorama app" />Creating a class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-make-amazing-panoramas-in-windows-for-free/">panorama from multiple images is no longer the arduous, drawn out tweak-fest it used to be. If you’ve got access to professional software like class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/pages/download-idiot-guide-photoshop/">Photoshop or even basic freebies like Windows Photo Gallery then creating a panorama never takes more than a few clicks.

Microsoft Photosynth is technology you’ve probably seen before, as it kicked up quite a storm when the company announced it. Taking multiple photos of differing size, orientation, quality and so on; Microsoft (with help from some clever chaps at the University of Washington) released a tool that could make a 3D panorama automatically.

The technology is called Photosynth, and it really has to be played with to be believed. Luckily iOS users (iPhone 3GS & 4, iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4G) can now create panoramas on the fly. You class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/frame-frame-free-photography-app-ios-stopmotion-antishake/">don’t need a tripod, existing images or money – the iPhone panorama app is free and startlingly easy to use.

Creating A Masterpiece

Capturing the world around you in a 360-degree panorama is not as hard as it sounds, though there are a few things to remember in order to get the best results from Photosynth. The first screen you’ll see upon launching the app is your camera image and a “Tap to Start” message, and 3 tabs at the bottom of the screen.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ip_taptostart.jpg" alt="iphone panorama app" width="333" height="500" />

The tab on the left takes you to your existing Photosynths, and the right hand tab allows you to connect sharing accounts and edit a few settings. One setting worth mentioning is Exposure Lock which will stop your camera adjusting for different light levels, delivering an evenly exposed shot (I’d recommend leaving it alone to begin with).

On the centre tab (a camera icon), tapping the screen will initiate a new panorama. Photosynth will start taking photos straight away, and as you move your camera around you will notice the program automatically building up a panoramic image of the scene.

style="text-align: center;"> class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76636" title="create_synth1" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/create_synth1.jpg" alt="iphone panorama" width="333" height="500" />

It is important not to move from your starting position when you are creating your 360-degree image as this will cause inaccuracies within the panorama. If possible try to stand perfectly still and pivot your phone in its current position. This is undoubtedly the best method for capturing a panorama, and you’ll see what I mean once you’ve messed a few up.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/create_synth2.jpg" alt="iphone panorama" width="333" height="500" />

As you pivot your phone new pictures will be added to the panorama. At times the green Photosynth capture box will turn yellow, and this indicates manual capture is required. At these points it is up to you to decide whether manual capture is going to add to or detract from the image. You can also overwrite existing photos by touching to take a new photo, or hit undo to remove your last shot. Each scene is different, but don’t forget to capture what’s above and below you!

When you think you’re finished, hit Done and the app will automatically stitch your images together for you. It can take about 5 minutes for a full 360-degree scene, not bad considering how long it would take by hand. A flat image of your panorama is also saved to the camera roll, like the one below.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/flatphotosynth.jpg" alt="iphone panorama" width="580" height="290" />

Photosynthing All Over The World

So you’ve got your panorama, and it’s awesome. You can pan around by swiping on the screen, pinch to zoom and there’s an enticing Share button in the bottom left corner. Touching this will give you three options: share to Facebook, publish to class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/bing-maps-plannin-car-trips-easier/">Bing Maps and upload to Photosynth.net.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ip_sharesynth.jpg" alt="iphone panoramic picture app" width="333" height="500" />

To share to Facebook you’ll need to link your account with Facebook Connect, and both Bing Maps and Photosynth.net upload options require a Windows Live ID.

Here I’m going to upload to the Photosynth website as it’s probably the easiest way of viewing your panorama on a bigger screen, from anywhere on the web. After you’ve selected Upload To Photosynth.net hit Sign In Now. Enter your usual Live ID and choose a public display name before finalising your decision with Create then Upload.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ip_uploadsynth.jpg" alt="iphone panoramic picture app" width="333" height="500" />

To view the panorama on your PC sign in to Photosynth.net with your usual login. You’ll be taken to the My Photosynths area where you can select your newly uploaded creation ( class="vt-p" href="http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=14e609b7-a7ab-4a0c-81e7-10b1bd7637a4">here’s mine). You’ll need class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/microsoft-silverlight-geeks-weigh/">Microsoft Silverlight to view, though on my Ubuntu laptop the open source alternative Moonlight worked a treat.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/web_myphotosynths.jpg" alt="iphone panoramic picture app" width="580" height="190" />

From the Photosynth website you can also class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/8-panorama-websites-360-degree-virtual-tour-world/">explore the community’s creations, and this can be time consuming as there’s so many great scenes on there. I wouldn’t recommend browsing the website if you have work to do, put it that way.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/web_panorama.jpg" alt="iphone panorama app" width="580" height="368" />

Download

Photosynth is currently only available for iOS, so if you’ve got a supported device you’re one of the lucky few. There is currently no evidence of an Android version in development, though we can always hope.

  • Microsoft Photosynth (iOS 4.0+ required) @ class="vt-p" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photosynth/id430065256?mt=8#">AppStore

Conclusion

I absolutely love Photosynth. Not only is it free, but it’s one of the most fun photography apps out there today. I’ve been using the app for weeks now and don’t remember a single crash, stitching is quick and the ability to quickly upload and share rocks. Not every panorama will turn out perfect but the more you practice the better they’ll get.

I’m struggling to find a reason not to recommend this iPhone panorama app to everyone with an iPhone. Download it. Do it now.

    Create A Stunning Professional Photography Portfolio With 500px


    class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/intro8.jpg" alt="create photography portfolio" />Whilst href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-4-websites-to-create-free-websites-instantly/">setting up a website is arguably easier than ever, for some people it’s still an ominous task. If you have little knowledge of href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-blogs-follow-web-designer/">web design, content management systems or how to upkeep your site then there may be better solutions out there.

    href="http://www.500px.com">500px is aimed directly at photographers who want a professional href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-wordpress-30-compatible-portfolio-themes/">portfolio that’ll stand out in a crowd, without the headache of trying to organise a dedicated site. It’s certainly got the “professional” edge over Flickr, and provides some neat options for sharing, promoting and exhibiting your work on the web.

    If you really love the service then you can upgrade your account for a yearly sum, though it’s the free option we’ll be exploring here.

    Getting Started

    First of all you’ll need to register, either by connecting your Facebook account or entering an email and username. Don’t worry too much about the username you choose, your real name is displayed in big, bold letters on 500px.

    From this rather short initiation you’ll be taken to the dashboard where you’re given the option of uploading photos, exploring user content or finding photographers to follow. If you chose email registration then you’ll need to activate your account by clicking a link in the 500px welcome email. Once you’ve done this you can upload to the site, with the inviting Upload button.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/thedash.jpg" alt="create photography portfolio" width="580" height="344" />

    With a free account you can upload a maximum of 20 photos per week, with a maximum filesize of 30MB. Unfortunately only JPEG images are accepted, so no PNGs, TIFFs or various RAW formats though you can upload 10 at a time using Flash.

    Personally I found the fancy Flash uploader problematic as it wouldn’t recognise any JPEG files on my machine (and crashed the uploader whenever I cancelled the upload window). I’m guessing this was to do with Chrome on Linux and had no issues using the simple uploader.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/upload.png" alt="how to create a photography portfolio" width="580" height="281" />

    After choosing and uploading suitable material, 500px will take you back to your dashboard and hopefully your new photos will appear in front of you. Clicking on the image will take you to a large image view which contains some href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/exif-photo-data-find-understand/">EXIF data (camera manufacturer and model, focal length, shutter speed, aperture and ISO) and a lot of share buttons.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/afterupload.jpg" alt="how to create a photography portfolio" width="580" height="296" />

    There is also a comments box afoot the image which allows others to praise and critique your work. The image view is particularly awesome in my opinion as it does away with distracting sidebar elements seen in other photo sharing services and gives full prominence to the image.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76017" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/imageview.jpg" alt="how to create a photography portfolio" width="580" height="360" />

    Creating Your Portfolio

    Before we proceed it might be worth filling in your basic information and uploading an image as this is automatically used on your portfolio. To do this simply click Settings next to your username in the top right and add as much detail as you like. As well as your social media accounts and personal websites, there’s an option to add your camera, lenses and href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-essential-digital-photography-accessories/">other equipment.

    In order to get your portfolio off the ground, click on the Portfolio link in the main menu bar. Creating your exhibition is a four stage process that involves choosing photos, a design, a biography and a few last tweaks. Before you can do anything, you must create a collection or two – essentially categories or albums.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76024" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Selection_343.png" alt="photography portfolio tips" width="529" height="336" />

    Once you’ve named and created a collection, click on its name to add or edit photos. Adding a photo is as simple as clicking it, and when you’re done hit Save changes. Next you’ll need to specify a design, of which there are 7 free and 4 premium choices. Add a biography on the About page, tweak options on the Settings page and if you’ve got your own URL you can set it up on the Domain page.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76022" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/settings2.png" alt="photography portfolio tips" width="545" height="457" />

    After all that you’ll probably want to take a look at your portfolio. The quickest way to get there is username.500px.com, which is your public link. You’re inevitably going to need more content in order to make it the perfect place to exhibit your href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/photography">photography, but it’s not bad for 5 minutes work.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76019" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/portfolio.jpg" alt="create photography portfolio" width="580" height="323" />

    Conclusion

    One of the great advantages to using 500px is the instant community that comes with it. Since you’ve got hordes of fellow photographers using the service, each as obsessed as you, you’re also party to the perfect platform for some great critique and commentary. You can blog (via the You link then Blog), add fellow 500px members as friends, send messages and comments, build up a decent collection of favourites and of course simply browse some of the awesome photos on offer.

    A free account with 500px gives you plenty to work with. If you were to upload 2 images a day then you’d still have 6 spare slots at the end of the week. As a rule you should only ever choose your absolute best shots for any portfolio so 20 a week is (in theory) more than enough to keep your followers hungry for more.

    Of course if you love the service, take lots of keepers and would like to show your support it’s only $50 a year to remove the restrictions.

    10 Blogs For Stunning Infographic Collections


    class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Shutterstock-Data.jpg" alt="infographic blogs"/>Infographics could be a cool solution for information overload. What makes them cooler and eye-catching are of course, the nicely done visuals.

    Information graphics (i.e. inforgraphics) takes boring data and statistics and dresses them up with graphics, illustrations, and colors. The advantage is that with a quick glance you can grasp the essence of the information being dished out.

    But infographics aren’t about data visualization alone; they are also a lot about creativity.  Angela’s post on href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/awesome-free-tools-infographics/">10 Awesome Free Tools To Make Infographics shows that there are enough tools for the job, but crafting an infographic is an art form in itself.

    id="more-67218"> /> At MakeUseOf, we frequently showcase href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/infographic/">infographics which simplify the complex technological world. If you have already fallen in love with this visual language, then let’s feast our eyes on some of the best infographic blogs and websites that showcase the coolest ones.

    href="http://www.coolinfographics.com/">Cool Infographics

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infographic01.jpg" alt="infographic blog" width="580" height="460" />

    See the popular href="http://www.coolinfographics.com/caffeine-poster/">caffeine poster, and thank Randy Krum for making it and the blog that highlights some of the best examples of data visualizations and infographics found in magazines, newspapers and on the Internet.

    href="http://dailyinfographic.com/">Daily Infographic

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infographic03.jpg" alt="infographic bloggers" width="580" height="528" />

    The site says it’s about an infographic each day. You can subscribe to their feed or get one delivered to your inbox each day. The infographics are collected from different sources on the web and categorized. The collection is growing and you can find quite a few good ones in it. I liked the one on href="http://dailyinfographic.com/15-steve-jobs-facts-infographic">Steve Jobs.

    href="http://chartporn.org/">Chart Porn

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infographic02.jpg" alt="infographic bloggers" width="580" height="271" />

    It’s not only infographics the way we usually see it, but also colorful charts, maps, graphs, and other forms of visual data displays that makes up this site. If you go by the categories, then this site has a very large collection which originally started out with the mesh of economics and graphic design, but now has a diverse range of topics. Some categories are devoted to well known sources of infographics like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. My recommendation: go over to the Humor section first (e.g. href="http://ehdom.com/flowchart/">The Procrastination Flowchart).

    href="http://www.visualcomplexity.com/">Visual Complexity

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infographic04.jpg" alt="infographic bloggers" width="580" height="321" />

    The site gives you a more ‘visual’ way of going over a collection of information graphics. The site looks at these data charts as projects and currently indexes around 751 of them. The site has a more scientific bent because it seeks to understand the visual language by studying different visualization methods, across a series of disciplines, as diverse as Biology, Social Networks or the World Wide Web.

    href="http://simplecomplexity.net/">Simple Complexity

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infographic10.jpg" alt="infographic blogosphere" width="580" height="378" />

    Simple Complexity is an individual blog that has posts and resources aiming to reduce the complexity of data. A lot of it deals with the visual representation of data. The Visualization Gallery has a large collection of graphics arranged as thumbnails which you can click and go to the larger versions.

    href="http://www.submitinfographics.com/">Submit Infographics

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infographic09.jpg" alt="infographic blogosphere" width="580" height="394" />

    Again, a collection of infographics scouted out from the corners of the web. But here, you can also submit your own creations via a submission form. The site is fairly new, but is building up with a small but interesting section on video infographics.

    href="http://infosthetics.com/">Information Aesthetics

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infographic08.jpg" alt="infographic blogosphere" width="580" height="416" />

    This is a nicely done professional site that seeks to collect projects that represent data or information in original or intriguing ways. True to their words, some of the infographics on the site are really unique as the site is not simply about the colorful chart type of infographic but also any form that relates to creative design and information.

    href="http://flowingdata.com/">Flowing Data

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infographic06.jpg" width="580" height="494" />

    This is a blog by Nathan Yau who is a visual and social data enthusiast. He has his own projects on the site along with the ones collected from other websites.

    href="http://www.columnfivemedia.com/">Column Five Media

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infographic07.jpg" width="580" height="521" />

    The interactive design company behind this website is also into design and creation of infographics so you can expect to find a lot of original stuff here for some well known clients. The best way to explore this site is through the categories and tags on the right sidebar.

    href="http://infographics.alltop.com/">All Top – Top Infographics News

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infographic05.jpg" alt="infographic blog" width="580" height="488" />

    AllTop is an online aggregator and thus a more efficient way of keeping up with all the great infographic links on the web. Most of the above sites also get a space here and you can catch all the updated headlines here. So, if you like infographics do bookmark this site for infographic news.

    Infographics are not only about creating stunning graphics from statistical information. They are also a handy tool to make all that boring data a bit more interesting. Also, as I have found out from my browsing, an infographic is a better retention tool when you want to remember a whole lot of data and correlate it with each other.

    Do you see the value of infographics? Let us know about any nice ones you might have come across.

    20 Stunning Illustrated Wallpapers: Halloween Edition


    style="border: 0px none;margin-left:20px;float:right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/intro11.png" />Seeing a lot of user-submitted artwork and animations via href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/4-great-applications-for-the-graphic-designer-on-a-budget/">Blender, href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-10-beginner-level-video-tutorials-learn-gimp-fast/">GIMP, and href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/convert-images-to-svg-format-with-inkscape/">Inkscape enthusiasts (some of which you can see in href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-amazing-short-films-free-software/">10+ Amazing Short Films Made With Free Software) has made me really appreciate images illustrated by hand, which includes wallpapers. Given the season, illustrated wallpapers shouldn’t be too difficult to find, and it might even get you excited for Halloween!

    Here is a set of wallpapers that feature this exact illustrated-by-hand concept, though authors have not indicated that they used href="http://makeuseof.com/tags/gimp">GIMP or other open-source href="http://makeuseof.com/tags/image-editors">image editing application. Also, some are from general wallpaper search sites, which I suspect don’t always link to the original author, but a number of these have a watermark (smart!) on them so they’re more traceable and attributable.

    You can also find a few tutorials after the set of wallpapers, which may help guide you should you become inspired to create your own!
