Does your desktop background picture look stretched? Do you find it time-consuming to crop pictures to the right proportions for your desktop? Download Ducklet DeskPhoto to fix it.

• Auto-crop and resize any picture to your desktop dimensions in just 3 clicks.
• Don't waste time loading big, slow photo-editing software to manually crop it or resize it.

• a bad fit (Center),
• repeating images (Tile),
• or a fat or skinny picture (Stretch).
• Your original picture is not modified in any way.

Results

The following two screen shots in the right hand column are real desktop backgrounds created by Ducklet DeskPhoto. The stretched screen shot in the middle column was created the old way in Windows.

Starting with photo like this:	Instead of your desktop background wallpaper looking distorted:		It can look like one of these (whichever you prefer):
				Fill the screen with the top, middle, bottom, left, or right section of the picture.
				Easily resize the photo just enough that you can see all of it. Even the Windows task bar does not cover up the bottom of the photo.

What is it Not?

Ducklet DeskPhoto is not a wallpaper rotator. It doesn't change your wallpaper automatically.

There are lots of good wallpaper rotators out there. My software is for you if you:

• Like to occasionally change your desktop background wallpaper yourself,
• But want to do it in 5 seconds, not 5 minutes.
