Free Desktop Wallpaper PSD
Up for grabs is my favorite desktop wallpaper psd file. (Photoshop required) Since it's a Photoshop file, you can use it to make a desktop wallpaper at any size or any color you wish. I have set up the layers to be scaled, or effected in any way that you want. If you prefer not to fuss, just change the gradients to colors that you like and call it good.
Here is a breakdown of the layers. The bottom 6 layers are just gradients. I provided a few options for you to pick and choose from in case your not too good with colors.
Next is the Noise layer. I like to add a little bit of noise to my gradients to help reduce any banding that you might see otherwise. 4% is a good value for most applications. Tip: If you scalle the file up or down to fit your resolution. make sure to reset the noise layer's scale value back to 100% or the effect will be lost.
Layer 8 is the Bokeh effect. It adds a touch of texture to the wallpaper. turn it off if you don't like it, or scale it to fit your taste.
Layer 9 is the Vignette. The vignette is the slight darkening that appears in the corners.
The top most layer is a saturation & vibrance layer. Sometimes I like to make gradients really pop with super saturated colors, or tone them back for a vintage or pastel look. Its easy to play with the sliders to effect the colors.
Download it and give it a try. If people like this file, I may post up some other wall paper PSD files for download.
Here are a few of the gradients that come pre-made in the file ready to go.
