... once again bored.  GraphicConverter for Mac sucks; you can't see some of
the detail from the reflections... oh, well.  Enjoy :)

I like the brownish part at the upper part of the picture very much! It
resembles a high altiture photograph of a planet. How did you do that part?

Dan, Abstract wonderfulness! I like it. The bubble cast shadows bind the layers
in the image together.

it's a height_field; I used POV to generate a layered texture on a plane
(bozo and granite, I think - it was randomly generated) and that was the
source image...

I did it using the MegaPOV 1.0 for DOS on my computer at work, but so far
I've been unable to duplicate it on my Mac at home :(

 thanks for the compliment!  the bubbles are randomly generated along
several spline paths :)

It sucks as an editor, but it makes a pretty good file reader/converter.

The best JPEG compressor I know of for the Mac is a little cjpeg port 
called "To JPEG". It's old and there's no OS X version (though it runs 
just fine under Classic), but with the chroma downsampling turned off it 
produces very nice images at reasonable file sizes, and vice-versa.

(I'm assuming that you're complaining about JPEG artifacts/blurriness, 
as there seems to be a lot of it in your pic, and I can't think of 
anything else in GraphicConverter that would eliminate detail...)

That's JPEG, blaming it on GraphicConverter is just silly. In my 
experience, GraphicConverter is a very good way to create JPEG versions 
of an image. First, you could probably improve the results just by using 
different settings, but images with contrasting colors like this will 
never compress well with JPEG.
