Some times I just want to play! I go through my old files looking for something
to play with. I love running old code that took a long time to run on my old
system. Now it's lighten fast! Any way I ran into this file, one of many wrote
for the Shortest Code Contest. And I had to share it.

plane{z,-.5 pigment{granite scale 50}finish{reflection.5 ambient 2}}
plane{z,.1 pigment{rgbf<.9,.5,.1,.9>}}
plane{z,1 normal{wood 5}finish{reflection.7}}


 That's it!
Have Fun!

Weird that the preview thumbnail is a different color than the full image.  I
suspect it is due to rendering without any assumed_gamma.

I see the same thing.
I think it has to do with how the thumbnail preview here treats a .png image's
encoded gamma... if it is somehow not encoded correctly. I agree with your
suspicion. I noticed this a long time ago, when I was using an *old* version of
Photoshop that encoded png's with the wrong gamma. When I uploaded them to the
newsgroups, the previews looked...wrong. Somehow, the full-size image corrects
for this (when viewed in Firefox's web browser here), or just ignores the png's
gamma altogether and substitutes the correct value.

As a 'safety measure', I try to upload only jpeg's here, which never seem to
show this odd problem. I am probably being overly-cautious now with current
standardized software, but I learned the hard way not to trust png's for
posting. :-/
