Unusual aspect ratio but looks right for this simple scene. I love
glass objects and I love these marbles.

Viewed with IrfanView 3.80, but not OE 6.0 or PSPro 7.

Well, that was actually worth scrolling down for.  Thanks for the 
translation, Shay, and thanks for the image, IMBJR.

Although, yesterday, when shopping at a discount store, I noticed 
something very disturbing.  The marbles they had for sale there were all 
clear (internally), with the designs painted on the surface (shudder!)

Try this at 8-bit.

In this case, preservation of the 16-bit output of POV.

PS. There's also 16-bit PNG, but in this case I chose JPEG2000.

Oh my god, what has the world come to? Marbles are almost a joy to
look at; if they are merely painted. WTF.

Whilst I appreciate the idea behind reposting the image in standard
JPEG format, you have only succeeded in introducing artifacts and a
drop in colour-depth. The end result is a defacing of my original
posting.

Please don't do this in the future. How would you like it if I took
your postings and reposted then as 4 colour GIFs or worse?

FWIW, Most people aren't even going to be able to see the difference in the
16bit/Component color as opposed to 8bit/C color. So, why not just post it
as a standard jpg and save people who may not be compatible with a lesser
known format.

I don't necessarily  think the posting of a standard JPG is nearly as bad as
posting a "4 colour GIF". People use a wide variety of OSes on these groups
(remember, POV-Ray is multi-platform), some may not have access to tools to
view a JPEG2000 file.

   You have a fair point, but at the end of the day Imjer, we want to
see an image, not *hunt* for the damned thing!

     Heh, I tried... and failed...  ;)

   I understand your point of view, but you could have easily
explained what you wanted to achieve, and post a link for a webpage
somewhere - I am aware that you can do this, so there's no excuse on
your part.

     It's Friday evening, have a drink on me.  :o)
