JPG image help needed please :-)
I'm using the bootsplash kernel patch to get a nice background when my computers start up, but am having a strange problem.
It appears that it will only accept JPGs when the "aspect ratio" is 1x1. I don't know a whole lot about graphics, but when I save an image in the gimp, it always saves it as "resolution (DPI), 72 x 72". Here's the output of the files when running "file" against them:
# Works
bootsplash-1024x768.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, aspect ratio, 1 x 1
# Doesn't work
silent-1024x768.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, resolution (DPI), 72 x 72
The only way I can find to get it to have this aspect ratio is to convert it into a PPM image and then use "ppmtojpeg", but that process really takes a lot of the quality away.
Can someone who is a little more graphic saavy help a girl out? :-)
Thank you!
Maria
