Very nice, those several pictures.
Could someone join them together to one single image? I am not so
handy with this stuff.
How could one do it , if one had access to Photoshop or similar?
Many thanks in advance,
Tommie

Screenshot!
So simple, thanks,
I should be able to manage that.
I have access to a program called "SnagIt", which can do that.

The General Kuan Yu Playing Go picture is 1800 pixels wide
for the large version. The smaller version is 1000 pixels wide, but
the original is 6110 pixels wide, much too large for a WEB page.
There are several hundred more stunning and magnificent Art
Pixellations of classic (and some modern) Japanese prints and
paintings, just waiting to be added for webpages. The "gallery"
numbers could exceed 20 or 30 in "...gallery20.html" etc ...
What do you suppose might be the encouragement from this
newsgroup, to find appreciation in having more Art Prints added?
Or are people so ate up with battery acid that they can't see past
their jealousy, being that the Kiseido Art Pages are outclassed?

Expanding on this thesis: note that the Kiseido Art Pages
have -NOT- been improved, even though the IGS Art Gallery is
still offering significantly more -enhanced- electronic prints.

( Was Re: The IGS Art Pages (Planar) )
Newsgroups: rec.games.go

Personally I think that this whole thread is rather sad. I know that
I personally have in the past enjoyed looking at the art posted on the
IGS server as have likely thousands, tens of thousands or more other
viewers. Furthermore I have greatly appreciated the efforts taken by
IGS to put so much work into it. As to there existing on the web site
forgeries or not, or some misinformation, well given the large
number of images & prose presented I believe any reasonable person
would agree that sooner or later that is likely to happen just a
matter of course. For example it seems likely that every major art
museum has at one time or another presented something as authentic
when in fact in wasn't, though I do not believe it was their intent
to deceive. As for the changing of text or a description to be more
palatable I know first hand of at least one major Asian arts museum
that is part of the Smithsonian that has a description on a piece of
art that sites it as being a rendering of the four virtues : Music,
Painting, Calligraphy and Chess. Where is should be Go. When I asked
someone there about this they said, well we felt that most people
wouldn't know what Go is and so changed it to chess.
As to the decision by IGS to continue to make these images generally
available or not, clearly that is out of my hands. However along the
same lines as above, allow me to say that I believe most institutions
acknowledge the idea that : If you present something, sooner or later
someone or some group is going to find fault with it. In NYC for
example there are several major museums that seem to regularly be in
the news for presenting "objectionable" art along with outcries of
remove it or loose your funding. Do these institutions simply fold
when such situations happen ? No.
Seems to me that in the case of IGS art, IGS might avail themselves of
some type of simple disclaimer in the way that many other sites and
authors do. For example adding a disclaimer such as :
IGS believes that all the information and images presented
herein are factual and authentic unless noted otherwise.
Or
While IGS believes that all information, images, etc. presented is
factual and authentic, no claim is made that this is in fact the case.
Seems to me that such a statement would suffice to make it evident
that, while there is always a possibility of error, there are none
that we are aware of.
Bottom line, sometimes bad things happen or errors are made, or
information is misinterpreted regardless of how careful one tries to
be. When that happens, one might fold or try and address the issue
and simply move on.
Sincerely
d.k.

Way to go Planar! Look what you have done to us all. We can no
longer view these finely crafted forgeries on the igs website any
longer. I am very dissappointed in your very negative attitude
and the outcome.
I don't know what you said. Patrick Bridges asked for years for a
simple email of explanation and got nothing but silence. Mark Galecki
wanted some clarification on a help file and was given the cold shoulder.
You come on rgg and make one - JUST ONE - very rude comment
and tweet jumps through all kinds of hoops and disables the entire art
collection. You must have really upset him. You should be ashamed of
yourself - Planar, I really, really hope you get blocked out for this.

As indicated, only a "small sample of comparisons" and one way
to illustrate how the archives do not just go away, with "out of sight,
out of mind." IGS Game Records are not important. What seems to
remain important is the reception to IGS Art Gallery electronic prints.
If there is no appreciation for releases of IGS Art Gallery materials,
then it seems extremely unlikely for any releases of game records.
The Art Gallery is what drives a creation of beautiful game records.
There has been no passing off an imitation as the original, and so
we have instead (obviously) "adaptations" for purposes of web_view.
As with newspapers, take what you see with a grain of salt, and for
the Internet, use a foot-cube salt-lick. At least 100 more Art Prints
prepped for *.html are "ready to be released" but the dire indifference
(and insouciance) when they are dribbled-out piecemeal has now
produced a situation of apathy back at "Art Central" among those
who were the Art Contributors. A lot of work went into finding the
best available prints, scanning them at high-resolution, patching
and stitching, then pixel-by-pixel careful "restoration" to what the
print was imagined to be, at the time of its inception. Who could
mistake them for an original, when the form is electronic, and the
occasional eye-catching "gimmicks" inserted into their displays?
Newsgroup archives clearly identify "Planar" as one chief culprit
(among a few others) for why we don't see more of the IGS Art Prints.
This is the same "Planar" by the way, who grouses about the lack of
Game Records. Does nobody put 2+2 together anymore, these days?
If you want to see the hundreds more of Japanese Art Prints,
many or most of them Go-Related, then buy airline tickets to Japan.
