If you don't end up posting the links, please send them to me in an email. I'd like to see that code and the explanation behind it.

My impression was that it had to do with the gamma correction of PNG images. The 4chan thumbnail generator seems to ignore the gamma correction while the browser does not.

Unfortunately the link to the FAQ that specifically talked about 4chan's scaling is a dead link now.

I'm currently looking there and asking to see if anybody remembers what its called, and where the FAQ is. It was how to make these in photoshop

I WILL be posting here, to this thread when I have information about it.

Do not open these files unless you are in a secure location in a private area. It's nasty, but it's what links /b/ could provide.
