To conserve download delays and disk usage the images are here presented in highly compressed JPEG format. In some places these degraded representations are then scaled to a larger size degrading them even further. The originals are silky smooth with very high color resolutions. To illustrate, Mark first saved his 16-bit originals as low loss JPEG. Then i crushed them until i found the right balance between file size and image degradation. The extent of my compressive rampage is illustrated by before and after files sizes:
whirld1 46902 to 16007
whirld2 80309 to 23825
whirld3 58569 to 17535
whirld4 249215 to 31802
