My wallpaper on the Q40 and Q60 consists basically of a photograph of a 
picture hanging behind me as sit at the computer(s). I took a photograph with a 
Kodak DC 215 and displayed it on the screen using my version of Simon Goodwin's 
program and Photon. Having done that I captured the image using one of my 
programs which can copy any part of a screen to a _pic type file. This image 
can be 
expanded or contracted using another of my programs and again stored as a 
_pic type file. By saving the resulting screen you get a file usable by BGIMAGE.
