Tomorrow the Apple iPad will finally launch internationally,including in my home country of Canada. I have written previously about what an iPad can do for photographers and now everyone outside of the US can find out for themselves. To mark the occasion I have decided to offer up a FREE wallpaper for your brand new iPad. Wallpapers for the iPad need to be 1024px X 1024px. This is somewhat unusual, and only a portion of this picture will be able to be seen at one time, depending on whether you have the iPad in vertical or horizontal mode.
The wallpaper I’m offering here is a photo of the Peak 2 Peak gondola at the ski resort of Whistler Blackcombb in my home town of Whistler, BC in Canada. I’m offering it here for personal use only as a wallpaper for your iPad.

If you are interested in creating your own iPad wallpapers I have also created a photoshop template that will help you visualize exactly which parts of your photo will be visible when the iPad is in a particular orientation. You can DOWNLOAD THE IPAD WALLPAPER TEMPLATE by clicking the link. It is a .psd file which you can open and overlay as a separate layer on top of you image in photoshop. Make sure you lower the opacity a little bit on the template layer to reveal your photo underneath. Then you can move your image around until you have it in just the right spot so it will look good in both orientations ! The areas covered by the red squares will never be seen, in either orientation. The center square will always be seen, and the yellow strips will be seen depending on whether you have it horizontal or vertical.
