Open it up.

Choose Colors/Grayscale. (this puts all the colors in a monochrome format of shades from white to black.)

Save As/Windows or OS/2 Bitmap (*.bmp)

If you want this image to be the size of a standard wallpaper, then I'd start by doing the following...

First, determine the size of your display. I'm guessing it's either 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 960. Let's just assume it's the first one.

Your original image is only 552 x 333. So let's increase the size a bit, shall we?

Take the Dropper Tool from your Tool Palette and click on the background of your image. Then use the same tool to right-click on your image. This will set both your Foreground and Background color in the Color Palette to the correct color!

Go to Colors > Greyscale.

This will make your image monochrome.

Now you need to save the image.

The 'Save As' window will open.

Name your image something like 'wallpaper-cher' (next to 'File name').

To save in the bitmap format, do the
