Thanks Ki. Those were certainly nice to see! They are also much better photographs and managed properly so they don't pixelate. Too bad they don't provide close-ups as well. Beautiful old keris, especially that last one.
Kai, i have no problem opening the thumb nails, but these photos weren't sized properly so that when they open they are digitally too big for their size. This causes pixelation of the image with great loss of detail . This is why the images look all grainy or pebbly. They open full screen but the fine details are lost. This is what i mean by poorly managed. I would have hoped that a major museum would have a better grasp of the technology involved in order to present these photos in the most informative manner.
