Changing your motorola "M" boot logo tutorial

[sickpig]

Probably a dumb question, but I have looked pretty much everywhere. I am new to all this including photoshop or any photo editing software. I input a picture I want from the internet and try to resize it to the 480 x 182 but when I change one option the other is automatically set and I cannot get a 1024 x 780 picture down to the 480 x 182 size? Is there a way to do this or do I just have to find the right picture size on the internet? Thank you!

What prog do you use?

I use PS, all you have to do is create a new file (or ctrl+n) and input your
dimensions. Paste the img you want, then hold ctrl+t (to transform) while holding shift so the img doen't come out lopsided/distorted.

Thanks for the quick response. I did what you said. When I transform the picture is it supposed to fill out all the white space? I just didnt notice anything different when I transformed the picture. For now i'll work on it assuming thats right. So I just placed the picture.

I am using Photoshop.

Awesome, just awesome. Perfect instructions. Worked without a hitch.

Just one question, does the image have to be 480x182 exactly?
My image got squished, presumably because it was so big to begin with. It looked like the M logo is a lot bigger.?

Thanks tallica, glad the tut was easy to follow, sry haven't been on to help in a bit... as stated in my original post containing the actual tutorial, this is just a transposed and polished form of someone elses tutorial, used from my experience using his process... his said those were the demensions, feel free to try a different different sized picture and let us know the outcome if you do... I'm learning along side everyone in this thread... hopefully a bigger pic will work, and if it does ill start posting confirmed picture demensions in the original post, but til I find otherwise, the demensions are 480x182... lad dodger, hope you figured everything out, but if not, feel free to ask and ill try and help u... and I don't believe it fills the white spaces for you, but I'm not too familiar with photoshop sorry

My suggestion would be to go to the Droid Forums Home page, click on Droid Themes and look at what is stickied there already, almost all of the Sticky's are Threads posted by MOD's, pick one and ask via P.M. the worst they could say is no
