And still I find the pictures astonishingly good for 1994..
- nicoburns 6y ago> And still I find the pictures astonishingly good for 1994.. I guess it's probably a scanned print rather than an image from a digital cameras.
- DanBC 6y agoYes, but it's not in "websafe" 216 colour or super compressed jpeg.
- ericbarrett 6y agoTangentially, JPEG was only two years old when that site was published!
- nicoburns 6y agoFair point. I remember an earlyish web, but I guess 1994 is a little before my time (I was born in 1993).
- JosephRedfern 6y agoEXIF data says that images was generated using Photoshop CS3, which was released in 2007.
- bionade24 6y agoNice detection!
- aaron695 6y agoHas the first photo on the www been lost? Because I can't find it easily online. "Berners-Lee made a webpage to advertise events taking place at CERN and uploaded Gennaro’s picture of the band. The image was tiny—only around 120 pixels by 50 pixels—because the early web would have struggled with larger images. It was about the size of a stamp".
