There seems to be a gap in messages from 11:30am to 4pm. I'm reposting my
message from 2:18pm as it must have been routed to Mars.

Easy for you to say  :  )

Presumably, the artist found the web display to her liking. That's a lot of
work to mess with - redoing the pics.

On dial-up, I found the load times first rate. IBM has been my web standard
for many years for KISS design.

To avoid perceptual confusion, she might add a grayscale as a component of
the viewing page.

Don't post images in ProPhoto; its not a standard space. Use something
simple, ideally sRGB for the web. And yes, use GrayGamma2.2 instead color,
for
grayscale images (unless they are tinted) as that will make the images a
third the
size, and a third the download time!
