No arguments, Don. I just wonder where the 'more colors' argument starts to lose importance? Are 1million color sufficient to do the transitions, as you mention? or are 2/4/8/16 million better and better? Take two areas, ten pixels apart horizontally. The left pixel is color 50,150,200 (RGB) and the right pixel is color 60,160,210. Will any person, much less an average user, notice if the nine transition pixels are filled with ten interpolated shades, or if it just had two transition colors? I don't know. (shoot, I don't even know if the above numbers are good examples; they were just a shot at getting two nearby shades) But plan on doing some experimenting with 'average' users here with my FireCracker24. Interesting question. –jp–seattle–
