Campaign Story
This is a fundraiser to raise money to buy the full res version of Windows XP's Autumn wallpaper from Photononstop, which is very expensive. This is one of the most popular wallpapers in XP, but no full res version is widely available apart from upscaled stuff, which honestly doesn't have much value as upscaling does not preserve details. The photographer is also offering a high res version for sale, but it is not the same scan as the one from Corbis that was used in XP.
Note that Photononstop do not own the rights to this wallpaper, Corbis owned it, which was bought by VCG in 2016 and many of its images are no longer available. I'm surprised these old Corbis images are still being distributed on other stock photo sites.
Once enough money has been raised, I will pay it into PNS and will release a 1920x1200 version of the wallpaper. If the money raised exceeds the target, I will put the money towards buying other images from PNS, such as the Autumn vertical shot or a few images used in Windows XP Starter Edition.
