It looks like you could use high(er) quality jpg files instead of png. Keep an eye on the size (in pixels) though...




I could cut it down to half the size. Compare these (for screenshot number 39):

true size (1600x1200) - 337,019 bytes
half size (800x600) - 206,738 bytes
1/4 size thumbnail (400x300) - 63,473 bytes
full size (JPG quality 70) - 409,305 bytes
1/2 size (JPG quality 70) - 75,462 bytes

Compare the differences between these. The full size JPG at quality 70 is bigger than the PNG version which keeps the original color details. The half size, however, is different as JPG does a lot better, but the text would be hard to read because it's so small which is why 800x600 wouldn't be that useful. Now that I think I've got GIMP up and running again (used 20/20 to save the files in the temporary directory of my site), I could probably apply some color reduction filters to reduce the number of colors and enhance compression. Again, it's the gouraud shading that screws it up....

Hi George, I have a suggestion for you. How about a Really Simple Syndication ()? A new AUM every month can allow RSS readers to catch into what's new from AUM. With this, I could make an application with a notifier (in VS2k5) to notify AUM readers of new magazine from you.

Hi Burt,

You've got some really interesting ideas here. I'll try to write the code for at least some of them in one of the following magazines.
