Having to move it around means that there's no way to create a pixel perfect wallpaper that will display on everyone's phone the same way.Ģ) Even if you manually place the wallpaper where you want it, when you rotate the phone to landscape orientation, instead of the image simply rotating, the phone will zoom in. What you should find is that the image is not in the middle, but you're looking at the upper right of it. It's people misunderstanding how it works it a annoyance, especially when your expected to make HD out of web images.Ĭreate a wallpaper with a small object in the middle of that resolution.ġ) If the size was natively supported, the wallpaper would center itself and you wouldn't need to move it around. I've been a designer and ran a commercial print shop pre-press department for 25 years. It's made my life a living hell for many, many years.

We live in a world where everyone person with a pirated copy of Photoshop fancies themselves a graphic designer. People will misunderstand that, unless they know about relative size. I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying it's not entirely accurate to say DPI doesn't matter. The article confuses that a bit even when it tries to explain it. People need to understand the relationship and difference between the two. If you crate a large canvas at 72 DPI, or a small canvas at a high DPI, it's the same thing. DPI doesn't matter for web viewing, but it certainly matters for creation of the HD image.

MOST people who don't do design for a living will be very confused by this notion of resizing and resampling. If you approach design from a print side, wanting to use the image for web, then DPI matters. You simply can't upscale a small, low Dpi image and expect it to look good. Images ghouls ALWAYS be created at the highest DPI and size possible, covering yourself for ANY medium you may want to use it for.

You cannot create an image in low res and expect it to display in HD.
