Drag and drop.

AIR you can put them roughly where you want and then click Line Up Icons in the right-click menu - that won't arrange them completely as Auto Arrange will, but will line them up neatly wherever you've put them. Try it!

You mean a 2560 x 1024 wallpaper you can spread across both? If you've got a 1280 x 1024 picture that's good enough to blow up a bit, increase its size in a graphics package to 2560 x 2048 (that's 4 times bigger) and then you can crop a 2560 x 1024 picture out of it. As I've mentioned before, save it as a bitmap at the resolution size you want; that way, you use the least system resources to refresh it.

Depends a lot on the quality of the image you start with, really. The wallpaper I posted before was blown up from a .jpg hardly bigger than a thumbnail, but is beautifully clear even at 1600 x 1200 - that .gif doesn't do it justice!

I shall have a play with that idea.

Photoshop is pretty easy once you know the basics.
Then its a whole world of experimentation and being creative.
Have fun with it.
