I just posted an illustrated tutorial on my KindleMinds.net blog on the basics of editing an image to make it into a Kindle screen-saver: http://www.kindleminds.net/2010/08/28/creating-kindle-screen-saver-images-with-gimp/. It is targeted toward non-power-users (i.e. I doubt any of you PhotoShop experts will find anything interesting there Wink ). If anything's not clear, feel free to ask away here or in a comment on the blog page.

Excellent timing, as I just took a photo the other day that I want to convert and my last couple efforts doing so didn't turn out so well. Thanks!

Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to Skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and shouting: d*mn-What a ride!
