NICE
Great incorperation with the other sides. Love it.
Re: NICE
Thanks....it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think some of the bark texturing and root system got lost somehow.....
great
the texturing could have been more detailed, but you blended your tile in perfectly, i couldn't even tell it was there! great job!
Re: great
I think some of the detail got lost when I saved it for the web. It looked a lot less dark on my screen in the PSD than it did in the quilt.
Re: Re: great
Do a Save As Copy... and save it as a .PNG with default settings. It works fine for me... with no distortion/compression. It's pretty big tho, so if you are on a 56k or something, jpg might be your best bet. I'm on HDSL at home.
Re: Re: Re: great
DSL here.
Anyhoos, I've been saving them for the web (Photoshop 6.0) in PNG-24 format...
Normally this tends to make them look almost exactly the same as the PSD, but with a couple of tiles, I've noticed they end up a lot darker than normal.
Other thing I've noted. I've seen a few tiles that looked really dark individually, but in their place on the quilt they look bright and normally coloured. Has anyone else seen this phenomenon?

I have seen this, Slothy said something about PNG not working properly in some browsers or something like that. It doesn't really matter cause the quilt looks fine, just a minor bug.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: great
No, the darkness "bug" isn't really a bug at all. On the left, we show the PNG image. On the right (and in the main quilt) we show the Jpeg version.
To compensate for different room lighting levels, we have what's called a "gamma" component, which is a rough measure of the amount of light in your room. PNG images can actually have a Gamma value associated with them when you save it. It's optional, but it's well supported. Now, if you turn up the gamma on your video card and save your image, it'll save that in there saying that the image was done in a room with bright lighting. When I view it on mine, my computer knows that I have much less lighting in my room, and darkens the image to compensate. Now some people incorrently have set up their video cards with a very bright gamma level. Those PNGs will look dark on any browser that does gamma compensation.
I can probably set something up to force the images to have a certain gamma level, I'm just not sure that's the "correct" think to do. When used correctly, gamma can make images look the same on any computer, and that's a pretty noble goal.
