...imaginary, but not very far from the reality... Actually, I think the small screen is a problem. There's a 1000% more detail and a greater color and light range that emerges more when the size is increased. you'd think more of a large format of it, if I had a way to display the 5mb+ file I have.... rather than fitting it on the screen....I usually work on a 5-10 mb image, scrolling all around, which has some elbow room... and then reduce it way down for here, or artwanted, and especially for Artsig..... the screen is a perennial problem for landscapes and more complex digital compositions.... check out Rina om Artsig for one of the best at taking advantage of this medium.... I'm _not_ one of the best at that... I hope I live to see truly wall-size monitors and printers/paper to match.... ------------------------------------------- Farewell too faire Farewell too fair, too chaste, but too too cruel, Discretion never quenched fire with swords: Why hast thou made my heart thine anger`s fuel, And now would kill my passions with thy words? This is proud Beauty`s true anatomy, If that secure severe in secrecy, Farewell, farewell. Farewell too dear, and too too much desired, Unless compassion dwelt more near thy heart: Love by neglect (though constant) oft is tired, And forc`d from Bliss unwillingly to part. This is proud beauty`s true anatomy, If that secure severe in secrecy, Farewell, farewell. (john Dowland) see also: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jkRrzAo9Wl4&feature=RecentlyWatched&page=1&t=t&f=b
