Default How To Create Full Screen Picture For The Zune
Since a lot of people are having troubles with this, I thought it would be helpful to create a tutorial. I'll be using paint in the tutorial as everyone has it.

--Firstly grap your picture (make sure its 240*320 - thats the usual zune dimensions)



--You then need to rotate it 270 degress





--Once the picture is rotated place it in the top left corner, so that the edges are meeting the end of the canvas. Now all that is left is to resize the canvas.




TAKE NOTE the dimesions are now 320*240

--It should now look like this



And on the Zune




Hope thats some assistance

Now is there anyway to change this so all 100000 of my pictures are like this? A batch conversion perhaps?

cool. but when i do this and set the pic to the background the zune rotates it again. is there a way so you can view the pic fullscreen and set it as a background like that?

Put them all in one folder, select the first picture, scroll to the bottom, hold Shift and select the last pic. Right Click > "Rotate Counterclockwise".... You could also do this for 1 picture with absolutely no quality loss.
