New 2D panel for the Mallard...
Here is an effort to redo a panel so it would show acceptably at 256 colors..
I am afraid that it involved more than just redoing the color...
Sort of making a silk purse out of a sow's ear... The original image (I think a VC rendition
showed a problem ... a fairly crude copy in Hi-colors but very crude in terms of definition... so I had to sort of
reverse engineer it... IF THE ORIGINAL HAD BEEN A "GOOD" IMAGE, IT WOULD HAVE SUFFICED TO CHANGE THE COLOR PALETTE...
but with this one... I had to take the original... remake it into a good one at high-def and then change it to 256 colors...
The results at 256 colors, I think look rather good...
this is a jpg of the actual bmp at 256 colors...
To wit:
I plan to revamp this one into one "head-on view" without parallax errors... i.e.: where circles are circles, in proper perspective, etc.
it was nonetheless a challenging quick project to manipulate an image, correct "moiree" patterns in color, etc. and some photo like details
and turn into a learning experience.
