I've been thinking of subscribing to Webshots Premium so I can download the higher resolution pictures, but would the increased picture size actually do me any good? I downloaded the client, and imported a picture that has the dimensions 1280x1024; my screen resolution is 1280x800. The picture, when used as wallpaper, still has a black bar on each side of it, instead of stretching to fit the screen. Even if I turn on the option in the client "Enlarge picture to best fit desktop," the picture keeps those black bars instead of stretching to fit the desktop.

Of course, I could crop the picture so that's its dimensions are 1280x800, but pictures downloaded from Webshots can't be cropped like that. So, question is, if I downloaded the "Wide Screen 16:9 Aspect Ratio" pictures, instead of the 1600x1200 ones, would they stretch to fill my desktop?
