Hi Chris,

thank you for the comments, see me answers below:

It is HTML 4.01 Strict and CSS 1.0/2.0. It was my intention to produce clean
and lean HTML code, there are enough good browsers for all platforms, so I
do not want to support the old Netscape stuff anymore. Mozilla 1.2, Netscape
6 and 7, IE 5,5.5,6.0 are fine.

Do you mean an offline version?

Why is the 2d scaling and rotation not necessary? Do you know better scenes
instead?

The previews are quite small images and therefore the space might not be
enough to show this already in the preview.
I will give it a try, maybe I find a scene. It takes time to re-render the
library, so please be patient.  I am going to post a demo image in the
binaries.images group.

On its way...thanks.

I plan an additional scene depending on special characteristics and
categories,such as Water, Sky, Glass. A demo is going to be posted in the
p.b.images group soon.

Thank you and stay tuned, the library will grow and change a lot,
Rene
