Eight AA batteries gave their lives in the pursuit of photographic genius. Some might say, needlessly. Mourning their passing, a revolutionary new technique was used to bring them back from the dead. They were rechargeable.
• The first is the "thumbnail" that appear in groups of twelve on the preview pages. You can download those, and their size will be no more than 180 pixels in either direction. These files all begin with THM_. • The second picture size is appropriate for web use and incorporating into documents. The maximum size is 500 pixels in its largest dimension. These files all end in _WEB.jpg. • The third picture is the highest resolution that was used to generate the other two sizes. Since the original pictures were 1600x1200 pixels, this can be any size greater than the 500 pixel and less than the 1600x1200. They are appropriate for printing on high resolution color printers for images up to about 5" by 7". These files all end in _FIX.jpg. Thumbnails on the preview pages will lead to the pictures in "web" resolution, for wallpaper, documents, and posting on a web page. A note at the bottom of every "web" image will link to the larger "fix" image. The "fix" images are the highest res for printing on your color printer. All pictures are presented in the JPG format.
1. EASY DOWNLOAD - Click around and find a picture you want. To download, right-click it and select the "Save Picture As..." option. Save it to any folder you like. Or, set it as your wallpaper. 2. If you want the whole collection, we have created two .ZIP files, doob_web.zip and doob_fix.zip. All of the 500 pixel web files are in the doob_web.zip and all of the 1000 pixel files are in the doob_fix.zip. Click here to download doob_web.zip Size 1.6 Meg, contains only web page sized images, about 500 pixels. Click here to download doob_fix.zip Size 6.9 Meg, contains only large, hi-res images. The file type is officially called JPEG and the commonly-used extension is .jpg. Most graphics programs and all web browsers will display JPG files. JPG is best for photographs with a lot of colors and texture, where GIF files are best for line art and solid color graphics. JPG also allows for compression that will take a large picture, and by removing pixels (picture dots) will shrink the size of the resulting file. This is called "lossy" compression, as the picture loses resolution (quality) as you invoke more compression. These pictures are saved at an optimum level of compression to sacrifice size for quality.
The 200 original pictures were unloaded from the camera into a 600MHz PC with 256 Meg of RAM. The raw images were evaluated in a thumbnail viewer program and the "least best" were discarded. Those that passed muster were saved in Adobe PSD format as "original," cropped, re-sized, color adjusted, contrasted, gamma'd, saved as "fixed" (with name ending in _FIX.jpg) at a 1000 pixel max size, resized to max of 500 pixels, and saved as "web" files (with name ending in _WEB.jpg.) 180x180 thumbnails were then created. A total of 74 photos survived the operation. Katherine Chandler was given the raw pictures to perform the graphic cleanup chores. Her expertise at refining respectable images, and rescuing hopeless pictures and turning them into enjoyable photos, is appreciated by all.
