What a graphic way to explain what most folks seem to find a rather difficult concept to grasp. I honestly thought these sketches were photographs until I saw your attribution in the bottom left corner! Fantastic!

Whatever you've done to generate color in that star really looks great (not to mention the entire sketch). The demonstration of progressively darkening background brightness is also excellent. The "output levels" terminology I used is peculiar to Adobe Photoshop's "Levels" menu, but "brightness" is a lot clearer. Really really nice. Thanks for posting that. -------------------- Orion SVP 6LT (6" f/8 Newt) || Orion XT8 (8" f/6 Newt) || 15x70 Oberwerk Binoculars The Belt Of Venus || Astro-Sketch Gallery || Astro-Sketching Resources || Astro-Photo Gallery Post Extras:       desertstars Deja moo Reged: 11/05/03 Posts: 30056 Loc: Tucson, AZ Re: Optimizing Sketches for the Web [Re: Jeremy Perez]       #609399 - 09/21/05 11:02 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   It'll take me a bit longer than Jeremy to "collect myself..." -------------------- Tom W.
