Hi Guys,

Just to say I have been working flat out on the next update of the beta and I just uploaded it now. Unfortunately I didn't get around to looking at this particular request but it will be in the next update. I figured it is also not a good idea to make too many changes at once, from the point of view of debugging.

Cheers
Richard

Okay, I'll try the next one then. That's nice of you to try Richard, I appreciate it. I just love using single cards from different decks together and viewing them at a BIG size, but only for certain decks.

Here's the deck I wanted to fiddle with from the Other Decks exchange: Guy Palm's Isomorphic Tarot. I understand for reasons of piracy and copyright infringement that some authors won't post their decks in high resolution, which is usually not a problem for me, but I can't even get close to reading the writing on these cards on my monitor setting of 1280 x 1024 which is the only setting I can use as I explained above. I don't know if there are card notes, but even so, I like to be able to read the actual card and not simply see a blur.

I recently posted the Wine Knowledge Cards because I have such fun with them using them in conjunction with my tarot cards, but I have to scan and view them at high res. because of the writing, and since the whole card is writing. . .I did manage to reduce them by about 220 pixels in the width which made the file sizes about 40 less, but I can't go further or I wouldn't be able to see them.

Hi Jambalaya

I know it is hard to read the writing on the Isomorphic Tarot, but as you inferred this was the author's decision made in the light of piracy/copyright infringement issues. However, if you visit Guy Palm's website at http://www.palmprints.com/guy/Tarot.html you will find an explanation of the numerical system he uses which makes for a very interesting read.

Cheers
Richard
