********************************************************************

The idea for the ULTIMATE DVD series came from 3d.sk. They came to us seeking a way to sell higher quality images than they provide through their on-line service.

The images all have photographic information embedded (Photoshop>file>info)

Here are samples of unprocessed parts of the following TIFF photograph. These can be sharpened up a lot however the point is to provide the highest quality raw images and not ones that have already been processed. As you can see the resolution is extraordinary. All of the 500 photographs are this qiality -- and they are all availble in RAW format as well so you can have complete control of tone mapping, sharpening and other image processing at optimal quality.

This looks fantastic, definitely going to pick this one up!

Suggestion - might it be possible some time in the future to make a DVD that is more pose-driven rather reference? These DVDs and the 3D.sk site seem to repeat a lot of the same standard poses, which is great for 3D modelling, but for drawing/painting it would be nice to have some variety. Just a suggestion!
