Christmas patterns

[Chief]

FW,

I was surprised in that I didn't see one single Christmas pattern. Having said that, the one that surprised me the most and is probably the only one in the whole of Pattern Depot was the "Shingle Maker". I don't know how it sells but I do like it. it's different and it's original......... without looking like some crap that Andy Warhola made.

LOL.. Nope not one I would call a Christmas pattern. Was not my thing when I was out junking and looking for items to scan.

Yes, the shingle maker is one of my favorites!! I picked it up the first time I put eyes on it. Did not even wait for it to be 50% off.. Did you do the "try" option in the depot to get a good look at it???

Thanks for looking..

FW,

I didn't use the "Try" option. Since Sears hasn't returned my CC yet, all it would do is make me madder than I am. I spend at least $2k on tools each year (ask my wife!!) and Sears is about to lose a good customer.

FW,

What's the significance of the "16 bit" in the corner?

Perhaps over-simplified explanation, but...it means the pattern was created with the more recent version of Designer (and/or Pattern Editor) that uses 16-bit "greyscale processing" when converting the greyscale relief heightmap into a ptn format.

Michael,

Thanks for the explanation on this. I know I could not have answered it other than saying it was because of one of the uprades to the software.

FW,

I'm glad Mike knew the answer but it appears to be overkill. I'm not sure my eyes would recognize a difference of one bit of 256 choices, let alone 65,536 bits (16 bit word), IIRC.

Sometimes I don't see the difference either, but it really depends upon the pattern. There have been many cases where there is indeed a noticeable difference. For example, domed shapes appear to be smoother with the new 16-bit support, so it's a step in the right direction.
