2011 Nebraska Football Wallpapers For Your Computer, iPad and Smartphones

2011 Balloon Wallpaper - Sample Only - The Real Stuff You Want to Download is at Flickr.

We have some wallpapers and backgrounds for you for the 2011 Nebraska football season. These were created using photographs provided by professional photographer Dennis Hubbard, and the professional photoshopping skills of askilled master. I've included a sample above, but please don't download that.

Instead, the backgrounds are being hosted in a set at Flickr due to the fact that uploading them here at CN would change the resolution (photos are compressed when being uploaded and there really isn't a work-around), and the background would no longer properly fit your screen.

I'll also be uploading them (over the next week) to our Facebook fan page where you can be sure to give some feedback by liking them.

We are providing several different resolutions that include the most popular screen sizes as determined by our web site analytics. The screen sizes are included in the name, but we're providing 1200x800, 1024x768, and 320x480. This should cover a lot of computers as well as the iPad, iPhone and other smart phones.

I'd like some feedback on these, and if enough people have special requests, perhaps we can do some more.

[Update: If you're pulling these off Flickr, you must need to use the Actions menu at the upper right and select "View All Sizes" to get the "Original" resolution. If you simply right click or download without doing that, you'll get a lower quality image.]

Maybe...

the photoshopping genius can throw together a Bubba Starling job showing him off in the Scarlet and Cream. It would look worlds better than any powder blue Royals uniform.

Thanks

Haven’t looked at them yet but am hoping there is another one of a hot cheerleader like last year. That’s been the home page on my iPhone for a year now. Off to find out! Thanks again.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong

But I’ve got both of the pics with the schedule on them and can’t even come close to reading the schedule it’s so blurry. Had no problem with the pic of the cheerleader with the schedule on my iPhone last year and just did the one of Bo and the schedule from last year and it looks good too. Any suggestions?

It's like it is trying to zoom in on it.

When it zooms in it loses all focus and becomes extremely blurry.

Yeah...

That might be it. Now if I only knew what that was. I can talk intelligently about vertebrae. Anyone? Anyone?

has to do with resolution - DPI - dots per inch

we’re going to put up some higher DPI 320×480′s – although – I don’t believe the ones with the schedules will look very well on the iPhone (or other smartphones).

Exactly How

Are you supposed to retrieve them off Flicker? There is no action to download or otherwise acquire the photo that I can see.

I have posted them

at Facebook as well… FB doesn’t change the resolution.

But – on Flickr – if you click on a photo, in the upper right you’ll see “view all sizes” which will actually show you several different sizes of the wallpapers/photos. From there you have a link where you can download whatever size you want.

Note the update

I’ve done to the article above about retrieving photos from Flickr. I guess I’ve used Flickr for so long that I have come accustomed to putting photos up there, and retrieving them from other photographers.

So…. if you’re wondering about image quality – make sure you’re downloading the proper resolution. Sorry if there’s been any confusion.
