OK, so Orbo and Pik have been monitoring your local x-net, and they've decided that these are some of the resolutions you use on your lightsquares. Of course half the time they surf drunk so who the hell knows. If your lightsquare uses a ratio not listed, please xmail Orbo and he'll put it on the list. If it's listed but we don't post it much, either xmail Orbo or just click one of the backgrounds that lists it a bunch of times to let him know. If you don't see your lightsquare rez listed on any particular picture, you have a few options.
1. You can shrink/stretch one of a larger or similar size (it's usually best to do so from the highest rez pic of a similar aspect ratio down). Though this is only a good idea if you an excellent shrinker, however, like Adobe or Gimp rather than XP or MS-Paint. Otherwise you make Orbo & Pik feel bad for concentrating so hard on those all those itty bitty details that take weeks to render when we do them ourselves on Earth computers.
2. You can use a smaller cut of the background without ruining the details. (In windows you can "tile" or "center" from your desktop properties.) Because fractals are abstract without any ultimate boundaries, this is actually a very viable option; in fact this is exactly what we do when we go through a large raw fractal and decide what part of it would make a nice background. In windows, right click "set as desktop background" on a picture, then enter Display Properties to "tile" or "stretch" or "center". You can fool around with different sizes, but more often than not, centering the next step from your resolution is going to be fine.
3. If your Earth computer has an art program you know how to use, well, go nuts.
These are bitmaps which are slow to load but much higher quality images than most jpegs you're used to zipping around with. Jpegs are fine for logos and dirty pictures, but not so good for fractals, for which weeks of rendering is usually rendered useless if they're altered, shrunk, stretched, compressed, etc. This is, however, inconsequential to the fact that we weren't going to give you the good stuff anyway. But Orbo hit a !@#$ing wrong button again and deleted all the crappy stuff so now this is all we have to give you.
THESE ARE CURRENTLY FREE FOR PERSONAL & NONPROFIT USE ONLY. You may not use these in professional artwork or any type of project that earns you money. Also, you may not distribute this artwork to more than a friend or two, even if it's for free. Our newest fractals are shrunk on average from 10,000x10,000 pixil bitmaps (dozens haven't been sliced up or posted yet), which are fully detailed enough for most professional uses (prints, posters, CD artwork, etc). If you'd like to use any of these images for any professional use or would like a fully detailed copy of an image, please xmail us to discuss a purchase. You need not use these exact images; most are part of larger fractals that could be put to more customized use.
CONTACT: You can currently use the Frangles contact information to reach us. Please use the feedback email to tell us what you think! Or Squish's email if you want to email the only known xiter known as Squish.
