I just spent some time further tweaking the images in Photoshop and indeed I can make some of them pop better than they presently do. More saturation is a good idea up to a point---the down side of dialing up saturation is that you start clipping colors and reducing subtly textured areas to flat fields. In fact I think I might have gone too far just now, sigh. I put the altered images on the Rudy's Paintings site just now, but now I'm bugged about the clipping, so I'm gonna redo them from scratch before changing what's on Imagekind. (By the way, if you looked at <a target="blank" href="http://www.rudyrucker.com/paintings" rel="nofollow">Rudy's Paintings </a>before and go back to it, you need to press F5 on each image to see the newly tweaked more garish version). Re: Imagekind, I still need to get a higher-res scan of my images in any case so there's not so much point in Photoshopping the images further till the rescan, and before I send off for the rescan what I <em>really </em>need to do is to rephotograph them with slide film instead of negative film and with a somewhat different lighting set-up, the lights were too strongly to one side before. Photography is like computer hacking but worse. In all honesty, I'd advise that you hold off on actually buying a print till the end of March. In any case, today I have to go over the copy edits for <em>Postsingular</em>. As for signatures, I'm not sure how to do that. It'd be a hassle mailing the thing back and forth. Maybe I could make up some little stickers that I sign and you stick on... I hear you, Alex.

I want some for sure! Is it possible to get them signed? The colors of the prints on Imagekind look a bit muted compared to the images of your paintings you have previously posted. Maybe the Gamma/Saturation needs adjusting? I preferred the brighter previous images. Selling the prints is a great idea. I want some for sure!
