Pixelation

Gaaahhhh, Windows updated with the new version of Internet Explorer - IE8 and we're back to smoothing images that are blown up in the browser's window. Why, Bill! Why.
So, images we click here in Pixelation are now bilinear smoothed again. Pointless. The new "Adaptive Zoom" feature is great, but along with it is a their stupid smoothing algorhythm. Haven't found a workaround yet. Have you? Besides another browser obviously.
-
Uncovered another "bug" - text windows, such as the one I'm typing in now, totally tweak out once you have enough lines to make a vertical scroll bar appear when just clicking in and moving the cursor with arrow keys, rendering it unusable. Anyone else experiencing this?
Time to test out Chrome finally. Boy, it's a fast browser!
-
Chrome, unfortunately, also smooths.
-
aarrrgh, I thought it didn't . . . alrighty then
-
I'm hoping Google listens to peoples' pleas. Although, it's open source, so all it needs is a programmer who is in touch with the agony of the pixel artists... It's such a good browser, and you can change mostly everything else about it, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to change the filters.

amen

Crap, shut down my browser and lost my post. Um, right, what you all need to do is download Opera. You cna turn off interpolation by typing opera:config into the address bar like in firefox.
I'm still looking for an imagezoom extension. There's somethign at thsi site, but it hasn't been updated in a while, and isn't zooming in at 100%,200%,300% levels. I'm gonna try peekign at the code.

The script itself works pretty well. I can try fiddling with it to get more accurate zoom levels if you wish.
Edit: Well, the script also seems to fuck with images in general pretty much. New images dont load anymore. I'll see if I can fix that.
Editē: Here goes the fixed script. Can't go any smaller than 1x, increased the zoom step by 1 each time you click, meaning it goes from 1x to 2x to 3x and so on:

Well done, Crispy. Works nicely from what I've seen, and it's definitely nice to have the option of zooming on individual images instead of just the entire page.
-
thanks crow for posting that js code, I was going to find or write something similar for my online portfolio.
a pity both chrome and ie8 are using that resampling, I'm wondering what the devels had in mind. Is it that useful?
-
Don't forget Firefox does it too. The only browser that doesn't interpolate now is Opera, but I really don't like it, so I'm screwed.
Still using Firefox 2, but I'm totally wanting the new features FF3 has.

There's a property fix for FF though. Only problem is it's only in later builds because it hasn't made it into a stable/final one yet. I posted on how to get crispy images in the FF bug thread here on pixelation if you don't mind using trunk builds.

Hey guys. I've been mostly a lurker here (since back in the days of the original pixelation), so you may not know me
K-Meleon is a lightweight browser for Windows that might be worth checking out. It uses the same rendering engine as Firefox, but with less features. Looks like there's no image blurring or whatsoever :)
Sorry if that's old news to you already.

I prefer Firefox 2 over K-Meleon, but yeah, good alternatives exist :)
