I have rhetorically asked in my last post - “why are most pics done with such low quality”,
but I didn’t show any other picture to prove my point.
Well.. attached is a pic that should end such doubts.
It’s taken from a site that I’m very fund of ...:

I think the most crucial thing about picture quality, besides -of course- the quality of it’s content is -
how fully it covers one’s screen and how much detail you may find in one.

I also want to recommend to all those who, like me, love looking at pictures - to use a special
picture-viewing program, like: “ACDSee” ( www.acdsee.com ) or like the free program: “IrfanView”
( www.irfanview.com )

Advantages of using said programs:
*Automatically view groups of pictures, one after the other with one simple click of a mouse.
*All pictures are automatically enlarged or reduced in size to match exactly the width and/or height
of your screen.
*The important and useful option of (easy) Focus. (to see all those little details ...)
*The very comfortable option of turning a group of pics into a “slideshow”. (Automatically view
each picture for a given amount of time, for example - 3 seconds, and than move to the next).


If anybody need some help with using such programs - let me know … I’d be glade to help.

I know the quality of some of these pictures, especially mine, are not of the highest quality. I scanned the most of them from Polaroids taken in dimly-lit strip clubs, and the like. The picture, I'll have to admit, was a secondary priority to actually getting the girls in the proper position! I'd take several minutes of mostly naked girls stepping and standing on me until I got the right pose on film (Heh, Heh!!)
Still, I believe I've gotten better with my scanning techniques. I'm using more contrast, and reducing the lighting, so the girls stand out from the backgrounds more. Please feel free to take any of my pictures and play around with them. That's kinda why I post them.

Well Backwalk, here are 10 (+7 on the next post) of your very nice pictures,
after a little twicking …
They look better than before, but I guess nothing beats a good camera with good lighting,
and with so little detail captured by the camera, there’s nothing more anyone can do to
improve them further.


Anyhow … I’m sure you enjoyed all those experiences, and thank you for sharing !
:)
