Hi Steve, Royb has a link on his site to a tool you can use to add rippling effects to a photograph ... once you have your image you could try this - there are a few things you will need to consider, the size of the overall image, where you apply this, whether it will be too large and cause page loading problems, in any case, have a look and see if it's something you could use even if not for an entire background ..

Yep LadyEye is right. Go here http://plusplace.co.uk/graphics.html and download the Sqirlz software and have a play with it. Any probs give us a shout.
