How to Make Desktop Wallpapers in Photoshop

▶ Download the 12 desktop wallpapers for this tutorial (free with a PHLEARN account): phlearn.com/tutorial/how-to-create-desktop-wall…

Turn your own photos into perfectly sized desktop wallpapers in Photoshop, then batch export and share an entire series at once. We'll build wallpapers for two different screen resolutions using a real photo series shot at the Art Institute's miniature rooms.

You'll learn how to size a new document to match your screen resolution, load a whole folder of images as layers in one step, and use Export, then Layers to Files to save every layer out as its own perfectly sized JPEG, ready to set as your desktop background or share with anyone through Dropbox.
