Known Hazards and Most Favorable
Conditions of the Archive
Most Favorable Operating
Conditions
- The Blake Archive will function well with all
up-to-date versions of major computer operating systems and Web
browsers. We recommend that you use the latest version of Java, which
can be downloaded here.
- If possible, your monitor should be set to Gamma
1.8
and a White Point of 5000K,
as these are the
settings used for color-correcting the in-line and
enlarged images in the Archive.
Pop-Up Blockers
- Most internet browsers now include a pop-up block feature
that prevents Web sites from opening up new windows. This feature will
prevent you from
accessing some resources and tools in the Blake Archive. When using the
Archive, you will need to allow the site to open pop-up windows in your
browser by selecting the appropriate command in your browser (such as
allowing this site to open any new windows, or simply turning off the
pop-up blocker in the Tools/Options for your browser).
Image Resizing in Browsers
- Most internet browsers automatically resize large images so
as to fit them
in the navigation window. This feature will reduce the image
enlargements
that the Blake Archive provides for every available object (in the Show
Me
menu on each Object View Page). When this occurs in your browser, you
can
either return the image to its full size (by resizing it again in the
window) or simply turn off the resizing feature (in the Tools/Options
of
your browser).
