Hi Terry,
Thanks for the tip, but for us that still uses the iPhone4s, whats the ratios regarding the ratios for the parts that covers the image
The iPhone 4/4s is 640×960 at 326ppi
1st guide at 234 pixels
2nd guide at 765 pixels
Thanks
Thanks Terry. Always enjoying your VERY thorough and detailed tutorials. I feel like I’m watching a cooler, digital Bob Ross.. 🙂
Thanks Terry
Very useful, even if I not yet have the 5:-) but with your information it worked just great for the iPhone 4.
One small question, I think have made some misstake, because the size of my font is only max 2 pt – as I see in your video you have at least 9?
Choke
Only thing I can think of is a difference in resolution (ppi) causing the difference in font. However, if 2pt is readable on your iPhone then you’ve got the right size.
Hey Terry:
I must be doing something wrong. When I wake up the iPhone 5 after locking it by pressing the sleep/wake button, I don’t get the apps screen and then the wallpaper screen I set – I get the default screen with the Time and Date at the top and the big green canister in the middle. If I slide to unlock, I get the first apps screen. I never see the wallpaper screen.
Question: What must I do to have the wallpaper screen I just created come up when the phone is unlocked, instead of the default screen with that big green canister in the middle?
Bob
Unplug your iPhone from the power!
Thank you!! I can’t wait to try it on my iPhone 4.
Thanks for this, Terry. Once created, is there an easy way to change the background with another image, including the part duplicated for the ICE banner? (possibly with a smart object layer or something?)
Let me see what I can come up with.
