Short: Cool 24-bit 1024x768 background. Author: Björn Östberg Uploader: Björn Östberg Type: pix/back Requires: jpeg.datatype Architecture: generic Distrib: Aminet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apart from being a cool picture, it was created using an algorithm I coded some days ago which uses floatingpoint precision and dithers the image (Floyd-Steinberg) to 24-bit RGB. Simply put, the routine generates plasma in RGB and alpha-channel components. Before the alpha-channel is applied, the pixels are maximized by adding saturation. So it's not just the usual rainbow plasma thingy. The pixelcount is HUGE. If you got a 24-bit display and want to brag about it, this is the way to do it. And oh, the jpeg is 100% quality. If you reduce filesize by introducing datareduction, please note that the effect of the Floyd-Steinberg dithering and the true 24-bit precision will be lost. I can do custom sizes on request (they will be uploaded to Aminet). Stardate: Feb-2002
