TODO: try making another [[:File:blue-marble-posterized.png]] where i blur it before posterizing, so small lakes don't appear at all. be sure to check that most of the coastlines would still align with [[:File:borders-black-on-white.png]]. we'll see how it turns out | TODO: try making another [[:File:blue-marble-posterized.png]] where i blur it before posterizing, so small lakes don't appear at all. be sure to check that most of the coastlines would still align with [[:File:borders-black-on-white.png]]. we'll see how it turns out | ||
TODO: also try just changing the image generator code to lighten the blue parts (<code>r *= 1.1</code> and <code>g *= 1.1</code> perhaps - and if forests and deserts look less distinguishable from each other, so be it). Note this might still not be good enough as some image downscaling algorithms aren't gamma-corrected, so dark-ish edges between blue and (green or yellow) may still be enough to look like population. we'll see. | TODO: also try just changing the image generator code to lighten the blue parts (<code>r *= 1.1</code> and <code>g *= 1.1</code> perhaps - and if forests and deserts look less distinguishable from each other, so be it).

TODO: probably just gonna use [[File:continents-black-on-white.png]] instead of [[File:blue-marble-posterized.png]]. Not as aesthetic but still nice enough, and not as prone to misinterperetation. Maybe call it [[File:population-earth2.png]]? or even just [[File:population.png]]? | |||
