Hi Renee, Thanks for the comments. I agree that perhaps the tiled background is a bit much but I still think it comes out well to have a reference showing exactly what the actual image looks like at the moment. In this case I'm taking a low-res image and enlarging it to 800x600 and then manipulating it for the "painted experience". So at times the lack of clarity may be confusing. The viewer may not understand why the image is all black (perhaps it's night) or all white (perhaps it's snowing), etc. As far as the background being disturbing "noise" to me it doesn't seem like that much of an issue since what's occurring in the "painted" image happens so slowly and gradually. So, obviously, having a map as the background image wouldn't really do anything to cover these concerns.
It would be interesting to hear what others think. best r. Pall Renee Turner wrote: > Hi Pall, > > I quite like it without the background.
