Maybe of interest ?

Harold Kip posted this reply to some of my shots and I thought that maybe my response might be of some use to others.

Here is Harold's comment:

"Stunningly great shots as every Michael! I live the Lynx -our Navy has them too - and Berkley Castle is just soo gorgeous!

But in some images you still have 15-20 kb to work with. You could try compressing these shots a little less so the quality of your work would even shot better! It might be what we Dutch call "fecking an ant" but if you'd like to advertise your business with these shots too (and you do it soo well) you just want to take away any imprefections, how little they might be ...

ANd 15-20 kb is 20% ... and I don't have to tell you that a 20% growth is a huge difference"

and my responses:

Harold,

Possibly you see things that I do not or you have some knowledge that I do not so I'll try to explain my process and if you have anything to add than I'm sure it would be interesting.

1) I run my sims at 1600x1200 on maximum settings so that the detail in the shots even at long distances is very very high

2) When I need to reduce (compress) their size to 800x600 (maximum allowable on this site) their weight

That's nice.  Shouldn't you just PM him?  Anyways, that's a lot of work to go through to just post a screenshot.  I must say they are nice though.
