Compress This Image

[Jeffro]

So a few people have gotten in touch with me asking me where the floor went. Since the image was 80k, I've removed it to make the site load faster. However, I'll put the image here and lets see who can compress the image the most with it still being recognizable.

Hmm original is just over 99kb

32kb here:

Ok 32K is the new record. Looks pretty good and I can't really see any compression artifacts. Now to see how every one else does.

Horizontally it is same board, repeating bit over two times. Cropped to single set of boards:

18.3 KB

Cropped image plus seam carved to square:

9.5 KB

PS forum forcibly downsizes large attachments, not sure OP has same image that was used live. May be cause for larger size.

I love this floor.

I wanna put it in my upstairs hallway.

Yep; that horizontal repeat pattern is the first thing I noticed, too.

FYI, I think your vertical crop dropped a bit of detail. Let me try to re-crop...

EDIT: Here it is:

Ok I've applied the 9.5 k cropped square to the forum and the site, let me know what you think.

Good to see the floors again!

Allright, if I catch any of you jokers busting heads & glasses all over this floor again, there WILL BE hell to pay.

;P

All I see are a bunch of peanut shells.

Though, that shelf of GPL mugs over there sure looks precarious...
