Img10 (Windows Vista)

img10, originally known as Orange gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii), detail, is a wallpaper included in Windows Vista, licensed from Getty Images. It was taken by Rosemary Calvert. It is a studio shot of an orange (although red in appearance) gerbera on a red background. It was briefly taken down from Getty in January 2020, along with many other photos, due to Getty discontinuing rights-managed licenses; it later returned as a royalty free image.

There is also a widescreen variant, img30.

Calvert has said she's delighted to see the image appreciated and used as a wallpaper by many people with Vista.

Orange flowers make numerous other appearances in Windows Vista: both img10 and Garden are given given much prominence in the illustration of Vista's features (for example, both images are used by Windows Movie Maker 6.0 to demonstrate effects and transitions, and in Windows DVD Maker's menu theme icons, and the icon for wallpapers in the control panel features img10 at a small size). In addition, an orange gerbera designed by Iconfactory appears as the default user account picture, User, along with in the icons of Windows Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, DVD Maker, Mail, Calendar and Sidebar. This is probably to provide optimal contrast with the mostly teal and blue elements of Vista's user interface, while the flower could symbolise beauty and optimism.

History
Calvert took the photo between 1997 and 2000, at her then home in Bramley, Surrey, England. She used a Canon EOS 10, 35 mm slide camera, with Fuji Velvia film, and a 100mm 2.8 macro lens. This was one of her very early flower photographs, as she had started to work as a professional photograper in 1996. As of 2021, her flower photography collection counts 3,816 images. •	I particularly enjoy photographing flowers in close-up. Macro shots reveal beautiful detail of flowers which is not normally appreciated with the naked eye

Rosemary Calvert, 2021 By January 2002, the picture had already been licensed 27 times, and generated $6,945,60 in net payment from Getty. Microsoft did not contact Calvert when chosing it, but only dealt with Getty.
