Now that two people have praised these images I have to ask what am I getting. The URL's seem to say that they are pointed at some PNG files. What I get is an extended download period and then a near full screen image. Attempting to save it brings up the message that I need to buy Quick Time Pro in order to do anything with the downloaded file. What is going on? It appears that I have downloaded a video.
You use Windows? I have Linux and don't have any issues viewing the PNG images. Don't know about your mail client, but in Thunderbird I can rightclick on the link in the email and download the image. But in terms of page layout, I'd prefer a smaller image shown on a page, then I could click the image to view the full size image if I wanted to.
This may be as good a time as any to raise the question of the relevance of PNG. Now that whatever patents on GIF are obsolete is there any reason for not going back to it?
GIF only does 8-bit color. PNG does 24-bit color with transparency. I do wish Fractint supported 24-bit color! If so, then PNG would be a great format since it is loss-less and Fractint could still store its formulas and such in the image file.
