Isn't your laptop screen 1440 by 900 or 1600x1200 instead of 1600x900?
Anyways, you can select the wall paper option so it stretches the wall paper to fit your desktop.

 

true, Windows will automatically resize the picture to make it fit your screen perfectly.

But if you want to resize any other pic for some other use, then you can use the Office Picture Manager which is included with any MS office to resize images easily and enhance their color. That is if you are an MS Office user

 

Paint.NET FTW. Handles resizing and cropping very easily.

A small size picture will blur off if your resolution is bigger than it.
For example:
800x600 Wallpaper when stretch to 1600x900 screen resolution(full screen option).

To avoid being blur off you need a wallpaper that is equal or higher than your screen resolution.
However, simply enlarge it using Paint/Photoshop/WHATEVER 3rd party softwares are TOTALLY POINTLESS.
Reason, because pixels of a picture already been set. It will blur off no matter how you resize it to a larger resolution.

Conclusion, find a picture that is equal or larger than your screen resolution as wallpaper(full screen).

However, this is for full screen option. Centered or Tiled do not affect pixels stretch(blur off).

 

There are photo-manglers and there are photo-editors - it is impossible to avoid all artifacting when you "blow up" a digital image; however, there are good ways and bad ways to go about the process, and if you're not enlarging too, too much, a good photo editor should give you a useable result whereas something simple like the built-in paint utility will give you a poor result.

 

Lest some others are confused by your reference to the built-in paint utility and mine to Paint.net, I want to point out the two are distinctly different. I still cannot fathom WHY the folks behind this great app chose a name that so closely mimics the old built in simple utility.

1600x900 is a new resolution becoming popular on 16:9 notebook displays. They call it "900p". :/ and it's one of the options alongside 720p (1280x720 or 1366x768) and 1080p (1920x1080).

 

Agreed with you.
Photoshop "enlarging" is better than Paint.
Photoshop is my love-st software. XD

 

Don't forget that just by simply stretching the image to fit your screen, you may end up with a weird looking image unless the image is in the same ratio as your final. Taking a 4:3 image and wanting it to stretch to fit a widescreen, it won't look the same or right. Nor will resizing it to specific pixel/dimensions and not maintaining the aspect ratio.

 

My laptop's resolution is 1600x900 too and basically what I do is find wallpapers that are at least 1680x1050 or 1600x1200.

1. If they are 1680x1050, I go into Photoshop, resize them to 1600x1000 (keeping the aspect ratio the same)

2. Then I make a new page in Photoshop sized at 1600x900 and copy the 1600x1000 picture in there.

3. Lastly, I move the picture to generally have it centered (100 pixels will be cut out), flatten the image and save it as a new picture file

If it's 1600x1200, I just go directly to step 2 and crop it.

You generally lose some of the picture and that's what happens when the resolution has a different aspect ratio.

 

I always use photoshop to cut my wallpaper or modified my wallpaper to 1366x768. It fits my screen resolution nicely. Sometime, I would use 2x(1366x768), with this, I can have High Definition Wallpaper.
