to Home Page
We have optimized
this site to display fine art images for what we believe to be the greatest
number viewers today. If you are experiencing problems viewing this site,
please read on.
Navigation
- Unless otherwise
instructed, clicking on a company or organization logo will generally
replace your current page with the home page of that company or organization.
This
will preserve your current session history.
- Clicking
on a "return to home page" link
will generally close the current window revealing the home page which
has remained in the background. This
eliminates download times for graphics-loaded home pages.
Browsers
- The primary browser
used for developing this site was Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.x.
It was also tested on Netscape's Communicator 4.x and was found
to be acceptably stable. All features on this site should also be compatible
with version 3 of these programs.
This
site is best viewed at 800 x 600 with 16 bit color.
Higher resolutions,
such as 1024 x 768, will make the images too small for best viewing. Lower
resolutions, such as 640 x 480, will cut off images and create scrollbars
that will prevent you from seeing the image in its entirety.
- If you have a Macintosh,
go to the Apple Menu and choose "Control Panels>Monitors and
Sound." Click on the monitor tab. Select a color depth of "thousands."
Select a resolution of "800 x 600."
- If you have a
Windows 95 machine, right-click on the desktop and select "Properties."
Then select "Settings." In the color palette, select "High
Color." In "Desktop Area," select "800 x 600".
This
site is best viewed on the IBM platform.
Macintosh monitors
are brighter than PC monitors.
- If you have a Mac
and have an Adobe Gamma control panel or know hot to otherwise calibrate
your monitor, you can change its brightness setting to a gamma of 2.2,
the standard PC default.
- If you have a Mac
can't change the gamma of your monitor, please be aware that the colors
of the images you are seeing are less intense than those of the original
images.
