Dual monitor wallpaper

I've just got a dual monitor setup but wanna know how I can stretch my wallpaper over both monitors at a res of 2560x1024. At the moment the wallpaper I have (sized 2560x1024) is squashed on both displays. I'm running 1 19" TFT and 1 19" CRT, both at 1280x1024.

Any ideas?

What kind of graphics card do you have?

if its Nvidia i have the same problem i just use photoshop cut the pic in half and go to the Properties-settings-advanced-(name of your graphics card) go to desktops and properties and you can have a different wallpaper on each screen..

You could crop the photo into two pieces using image editing software, cutting it in half and making two pictures out of it instead of one.

edit: one minute to late, and my post is inferior.

I'm using an ATI card.

I know you can cut it in half so it isn't squashed but can you get the 2nd half to be on the 2nd monitor?

Try ultramon, a program for dual screens or more... i think that will allow you to do what you want.
