Very nice, Don. You've almost pixelated a skyscape.
I wondered what to call the technique... thank you. "Pixelated Sky" is much better than "Cloud Building."
I must say that I liked the effect of so many reflected clouds with no clouds in the background.
Btw - if anyone knows, is there a way to click on an image to see the bigger picture and have it display on a black background instead of white?
This is just from failing memory, but it seems that years ago I read that you could change the native background color of blank browser pages... but that would require your viewers to do it, not you, so that's not what you're looking for.
If it were me and it was important -- and I've never been a fan of photos on white or light-coloured backgrounds -- I would put a larger border on the photo (as I've done above) that would cover any screen real estate. It shouldn't add too much to the KB of the image since it would be black.
For reference, my monitor is 1920x1200, but as long as you're doing it, make it larger and leave 100 to 200 pixels on the top and left and the balance on the right and bottom.
Did I say this was a work-around? It's certainly more work.
Don
Ok, I just did it so you can click here.
The original large image is 1674x1738 and is 680KB.
The framed large image is 2500x2500 and is 746KB.
I used 90% quality in ACDSee for the PSD conversion, but you could probably go as low as 70%. There are 50 pixels top and left side. Balance of the arbitrary 2500x2500 on the other two sides.
Don, again.
