Can someone who is good at converting images help me? I took pics of my grandchildren, resized them to 600x800 and then put them through the kindle screensaver generator. But the pics of the faces show several shades of gray and look kind of fuzzy. How can I get them to be clear without all the shades of gray? I also tried to change them to B&W with iphoto but the same problem exists with my pics. The screensavers that came with the Kindle are very clear, but I'd rather have clear pics of my grandkids Smiley

Do you have the originals posted online somewhere? Photobucket or Flickr perhaps? If not, e-mail them to me... I'll send you a PM with the address.

Wow! So excited to get rid of all the dead people on my kindle. Hoping someone could make me a screensaver to match my decal girl skin Before The Storm. Thanks so much  |

Also, I'm a Massachusetts girl. How about some Red Sox (I know.... bad year. Gotta love 'em anyways) ... I don't know much about sports, but... isn't every year a bad year for the Red Sox? =) |

Would you know how to fix these two?   Those are both thumbnails and not the full size images. The Elephants is one of my screensavers:  I'm not sure if the Polar Bears is one of mine, but unfortunately I don't have an easy way to find specific images in my Photobucket since there are now almost 1,400 in there! If I had realized back when I started making them that there would be so many, I would have made separate folders. If I move them into folders now, it will break all of the links to the images that I have posted over the past year. I think part of the problem you had with these two images is my fault. When I am only posting a couple images, I will post the whole image here, just sized down so you can right-click and save it. But when I'm posting numerous images at once, I use Photobucket's thumbnail feature which creates a small image to display here but links to the larger image on the Photobucket site. The only suggestion I can make to avoid this problem in the future is to first try clicking directly on any image you want to save and see if it opens up a link. If it doesn't, then you can probably just right-click and save the image itself which should be the right size for your Kindle. Does that make sense? I'll work on the BoSox images a little later and try to get some posted for you. |

Thanks so much Try this, although the dimensions didn't seem right and I had to stretch it a bit to make it the right size. Let me know how it lines up and I can try to make some adjustments if necessary.  |

Thanks! So if I re download the elephant I should be all set? |

Yep! The one I posted above is the full-size image, just shrunk down for display here. Right-click and save it and you'll be set with a 600x800 image. =) |

Sox (Red and White varieties ) Patriots, and a few others franchises thrown in for good measure... As always, DX versions also posted in the DX thread. You're the best!! I love the one with Fenway Park! |

Those are both thumbnails and not the full size images.
 Here's the polar bear picture. Feel free to crop or do whatever you need to so that it fits the proper orientation on the Kindle screen. This is a picture my daughter took at the Bronx Zoo and I really like it. I apologize for not resizing this for the board. I know it can be done but I don't remember off-hand how to do it. I'm on break at work right now.... otherwise I would've made it a little more manageable. If anyone cares to correct this, please do! [Edited to fix picture size] |

Laurie, I cropped the polar picture two different ways. It didn't want to fit as a full sized 600x800 pic without looking scrunched up. So let me know if these work or if you want them altered slightly ....   Thanks!! |

Since I've always liked quotes, I found some about reading, and I humbly submit my first attempt at creating Kindle screen savers. I also included a little area where you can put in your personal information Click the thumbnails below to see the full size 600x800 images  |

Thanks for the Rangers one....how about Dallas Cowboys?  Oh, and switching to hockey, how about Dallas Stars? (Don't care about basketball.  ) And thanks for the space-y and nature ones in that big group several posts up too! |
