I think this is a really interesting idea. Would love to see these results and other experiments also compared in terms of resulting file size.

- dpflan 5y agoThe impetus for this was to create a less blurred, more coherent preview image that is not the original image. Why is that? I suspect to entice people to want to pay for the images that are being previewed. The question is now: given there are different techniques, which techniques lead to a higher rate of purchases of previewable content (right)?
- rognjen 5y agoThat's a good point. It would definitely be worth A/B testing the results.
- rognjen 5y agoThat's a good point I didn't really consider. Here're the resulting file sizes. The triangles used a larger image as a starting point though. 75K image-previews-adaptive-blur-output.jpg 13K image-previews-gaussian-blur-output.jpg 9.1K image-previews-plain-blur-output.jpg 55K image-previews-input-1.jpg 52K image-previews-probability-triangle-output.jpg 61K image-previews-wave-gradient.jpg 79K image-previews-rippled-output.jpg 300K image-previews-circle-map-blur-output.png 373K image-previews-output-with-triangles.png 461K image-previews-output-with-probability-triangles.png 1.2M image-previews-transparent-triangles.jpg 217K image-previews-plain-blur-lg-output.jpg
