Limited color? No way!

Luisa Simone's piece on Gamma is great. Though using the Web-safe palette is not nearly as necessary as it used to be. Only about 20 percent of the computers on the net nowadays are still stuck at 256 colors according to a web wizard at Peach Press. So should we desaturate the web for one out of five users? I don't think so.

Pretty much right

As a photo editor, and former photographer, who buys a lot of stock images I see a lot of garbage in even the best stock houses. Boring pictures. People who succeed in this busines do it by making their work stand out. Quality, real life, compelling images. Gimmicky, stupid, distorted heads, and other such drek gets passed over.

Dog of an argument

What makes you think it has to be that one single dealer, or two, are the only ones who can make it on the web. This smacks of an article that had a foregone conclusion before it was written. What do we want? The Wal-Martization of the Web? No. We want variety - so you are right on that point. But to assume only one can survive, or at best two, is a stretch.
