Question on backgrounbd pictures.

I downloaded a picture from pocket pc screens. When I go to use it as my background, it looks light as compared to the one that I saw on the website. Any ideas, thanks!

Just a thought, turn down the Backlight? or maybe it is the mist/transparancy layer over the picture... I remember reading here how to remove that... I will dig, but I hope you do as well!

Otherwise you will have to edit it with a program and reduce the overall brightness or contrast (something) of the photo. I don't know much more, I am sure someone else will have a better answer!

u have to look at the pic through the pic app first,then in the app hit right soft key and set as today background,then it gives u the option to reduce or increase the opacity. set it to 0 if u want the normal pic.
