When I clicked the randomized image, why did it go through waves of rendering?
- fred256 5y agoIt appears to be interlaced: all16777216rgb-scrambled.png: PNG image data, 4096 x 4096, 8-bit/color RGB, interlaced
- wtallis 5y agoThat's an interlaced PNG: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlacing_(bitmaps) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlacing_(bitmaps) The image data is stored such that downloading the first section of the file gets you enough information to display a low-resolution version of the image, and continuing the download allows for progressive refinement of the image.
