About the Collection
- History
- This collection, "Beautiful Images 2", is the digital sequel to the original collection created and launched in 1994 in the early years of the internet. The original collection was comprised of images optically scanned from negatives, slides, and prints created from medium format and 35mm film cameras. Unfortuantely the original images were compressed and downsized in an era of disk space and bandwidth limitations. The new collection is based on high resolution digital images, scaled or croped to a 1024x768 format - suitable for most windows backgrounds or generating a 4" x 6" print.
- Content
- The collection is made up of original photographs taken in color and in black and white. The images are from the US, the Carribbean, Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia. It covers all formats of subject matter, from macro images to landscapes.

- Windows IE Browser Issues
- Note: some Windows Internet Explorer browsers (most, actually) are set to automatically re-size images to fit the current window. This results in uneven dithering and poor appearance of the image. To re-size the image, park your cursor over the image and wait 1-2 seconds. A re-sizing icon should appear in the lower right corner. If it does not, right click anywhere within the brower (but outside of the image) and repeat the process. To save the image, right click and select "Save Picture As...". Images that are saved or copied using copy-and-paste are at saved at full resolution.
