I took some pictures of my Oberon Bold Celtic knot cover and would like to make them into good looking screen savers. I have already them on my Kindle, but am trying to figure out how to best optimize the the pictures so they are dark enough, don't show words through them, etc. I have the original files, but didn't want to put them all on here, so here is a sample. The originals I have are 800x600.

Thanks for any help you may be able to give!

There are no words to "show through." However, the nature of the e-ink screen is that if the image is displayed without "wiping" the screen first (that dark/white flash you normally see when you change pages in a book), there can be a ghosting effect due to the inherent inefficiency the e-ink screen has in getting all the little 2-color spheres to "roll over" correctly. All that is just to say that there is no attribute of your image file that will prevent (or allow) text to "show through" -- though possibly different levels of darkness/lightness and/or contrast *might* make it less noticeable if you are having a problem with such ghosting on your screensavers. (I haven't really noticed it at all on my K3, but then to be honest I don't actually spend much time looking at my screensavers. Wink )

Oh many of us have created screensavers.. Do a search here in the photo gallery and you will find thousands of SS.
