take two photos of tree from exactly the same position (exactly). one with flash, one without. then use some thing like photoshop to combine the images so that the lights stand out, or email them to me and i can have a play as ive never got anything to do...please
 
too late i used the photos that were allready there, they matched up close enough

here it is

tree.gif


p.s. any1 else want any help with images or anything computer realted please email me as im a computing student willing to help
 
it wont blink on your back ground beacause its an animated image (a file that ends in .gif)

i used a tools called adobe photoshop and adobe imageready, both are very good tools but also very very expensive. Basically

(1) i got the image withouth the flash (the one you can see lights but nothing else) and painted the background black aswell so all you colud see were the lights

(2) i increased the contrast (brightness) of the lights so they stud out more and increased the saturation (more colour)

(3) i then made the black of the image see thru so that i could stick it over the origional image so that i had a picture of the tree with bright lights on it

(4) i then used the origional photo (with flash) and my new photo to create an animation (basically a slide show with two slides, each slide has one photo)

(5) these two slide alternate back and forth very quickly to create the flashing effect
 
if you look really closely above the glasses on the shelf you can see where i didint make all of the black see thru, it makes the picture look like the wall is moving.

you can also notice that the flashing of the lights doesnt line up with the actuall lights on the tree, look closely at the highest light on the tree at the top (the blue one). can u see that the flash is just below the actual fairy light, i rushed it!
 
p.s. i have just found out a way to display it flashing

it may be hard for me to explain how to do it but i can try if you want
 
u need to set your desktop to be an active web page. We will quickly create a new web page that simply displays the image. open MS Notepad and enter this text (copy & paste)

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Tree</title>
</head>
<body>
<p align="center">
<img src="tree.gif" start="mouseover"></p>
</body>
</html>

Now save the file buy using Save As and for the file name type Tree.htm

Change save as type to all files

You must save this notepad file in the same folder that you have the image in (also make sure the flashing tree image is saved as tree.gif

now you have the website and image in the same folder check the web page we just made opens correctly. open it in internet explorer.

To use this webpage as your desktop you must right click the desktop and select properties from the dropdown list.

Select the desktop tab then select the customise desktop button

Select the Web[B/] Tab and then click the button that says new.

In the new windows click browse and select the file that we just created (we saved it in the same folder as the tree image)

Now click okay then okay ect.

It should be on the desktop now If it looks really small you may have to hover your mouse over the box and then maximise it by clicking one of the buttons at the top of the box.

If you know a little html coding you could edit the tree.htm file to suit your prefernces.

Hope this helps

Any problems simply give me a shout
 
did u check to see if the image is displayed when u open the file with Internet Explorer?

open the file named tree.htm to see if the image is there

also try again but change the code to read this

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Tree</title>
</head>
<body>
<p align="center">
<img src="tree.gif"></p>
</body>
</html>

get rid of the mouse over bit, that may be causing problems

when u saved the image of the flashing tree off this forum did u save it as tree.gif? or tree.jpg?
